Here is the answer for my little quiz from the
previous entry.
The mold for teapot’s body doesn’t have an
inner mold (open speace). First, you
fill it up with the liquefied clay. The
clay dries up from the outside. Next, you
leave it for approximately 15min, and then dump away the clay. The dried outer layer remains on the
mold. Leave it as it is, to dry it more,
and you can take it out later.
It is a superb and effective method to
create a desired thickness of the walls. The teapot’s craftsman put great care in
controlling the clay density and drying process based on the appropriate temperature
or weather condition of the day.
Do you know if your teapot is molded or
wheeled? I think it is quite difficult
to distinguish between these two by looking at the products. I’ll give you a tip. Check the inside part at the bottom. If you find a ring-shaped dent there, then it
is probably a molded teapot. You don’t
usually find the dent on wheeled teapots.
The molded teapot has an even wall thickness. Therefore, if the teapot has a stand on the outer
part of the bottom, you will find the dent inside. This theory may vary and may not always work,
but can definitely be one of your guides.
Now you may want to check the bottom of your cute little teapot in your
kitchen, don’t you?

Dark pattern is a infection that propagates often in your bathing room. Very few washrooms evade the terrifying black pattern infection. Earlier or later it discovers a awesome wet area of your bath or your surfaces and starts to develop. Gradually at first then before you know it it's all over your wonderful bathing room. Dark pattern is infamously difficult to get rid of and control but a treat is possible. I expose the key below...

What a curious theory! Tempted to go and check the base of my teapot right this minute...
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I hope that you find out if your pot is molded or wheeled.
