His Yixing teapot is a great size and is burnished well. He escaped the traditional form by adding a contemporary knob to the lid while flattening out the handle and the spout. There is good continuity in the pot between the spout and handle. The knob on the lid creates a strong triangular composistion. He loves to talk about art history and has a great vocabulary on the subject. I'm sure the pot will pour like a dream. We all can't wait to use them.
