It took many weeks, but I have finally finished the new teapot. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I used a thin layer of a glaze called Randy's Red, which gave a nice blueish-black color on the surfaces, and a rust red in the crevices. Unfortunately, I forgot a basic aspect of teapot-making, which is that pots get twisted as they are thrown on a wheel, and they untwist when they dry. The result of this is that the spout is not perfectly parallel to the ground, even though it was when I made it. It's not something that you see unless you are looking for it, though.
