Item Description
Bid high and often on master potter Mary Louise Carter's lovely porcelain teapot.
These images do not do this piece justice.
of her work, she says.........
My desire to live and work in relationship to others is integral to my work as a functional potter. I imagine that everything I make will find a place in someone’s life.
My work is about refinement. It is about honing in on the essential. I look at the way that nature creates — the connection between trunk and branch, stem and fruit, the way the petals of a flower unfurl. Could there be a better way to complete the human hand than the precise fit between skin and nail?
In my quest for clear and elegant solutions to form and function, I try to override my intellectual reaction; perfection is a trap I have encountered. Instead, I judge my work by trusting my physical response.
When someone I love walks into the room there is a bodily felt sensation. When the pot is right, a sense of warmth and excitement comes through.
I want my work to offer a safe haven. After a long and hectic day you finally arrive. Someone waits — attentive, tending, considerate, concerned. There is a slow exhale.
