I started making one of a kind teapot in early 2011 inspired by Fong Choo's teapots.  Now, finally I made fifty.  It was great exercise, to imagine new shapes as well as learning construction. It did sell well. It also saved many greenwares.  A time spent building a teapot gave enough time to dry freshly thrown pieces to cover with plastics before leaving the studio. I felt a bit of limitation with using mostly two glazes toward the end.  Now first 50 was done, should I go on or make something else?

All teapots are here.
