Throwing A Teapot for One on the Potter’s Wheel

[@chloegreen1003]

The amount of effort that goes into perfecting each piece really makes a difference in the end product. I aim to have this attention to detail

[@druidOcelot]

my FAVORITE teapot is an unglazed little 150ml number of this very neat speckled greenish-tan clay. its absolutely teeny and the clay its made of is just such a nice satiny texture, and its the perfect size for single cups. especially in the spots where its been stained by the tea thats gone through it over the years, it brings a lovely warmth to it. (and having several small teapots means one for every mood, even if they seem impractical)

I want to see what Florian would do if tasked with making a Yixing clay teapot and see his take on the delicate Chinese style. So much thought is put into the temperature control and the pour ergonomics and flow. Often, they don't glaze them, so the teapots can build a patina and season with the flavor of a tea over time

[@StuninRub]

Forget yixing, he wouldn't even be up to standards for chinese porcelain production.

[@gracequach6769]

@StuninRub Chinese porcelain production these days is done with robots and borderline slave labor

[@StuninRub]

@gracequach6769 Maybe in the EU, Jingdezhen porcelain production is still hand thrown. It only looks machine made because they are THAT good.

@randalljames4456, I had the same thought the second I saw the title! Maybe jianshui would be more his vibe since belive those pots are usually thrown.

[@StuninRub]

@@fra_ja_be He would have to unlearn all of his Japanese habits which are detrimental to Chinese ceramic styles. Throwing and finishing earthenware is also MUCH harder than the high grog stoneware that he uses. There is a reason why Chinese ceramics are and were so sought after for over a thousand years. The skill levels aren't even in the same zip code.

Sick and trying to watch something to get my mind off the pain. Perfect timing! Beautiful work!

I do love the way Florian shows us advanced techniques one step at a time--as if we are all up to it!

[@IrinaGreenman]

I love tiny tea- and coffeeware! I find it absolutely enchanting, and watching you make these is endlessly satisfying. I don't know how many times I've watched your video on making espresso cups, and when the displayed comment said this was a tiny teapot I clicked SO FAST 😂

[@pentaco0243]

I love tiny pots you make! They are small and delicate, it’s always a joy to watch you throw them❤

[@SweetPickins]

I love watching you make teapots and all the components that go along with them!

[@FectoMemoria]

When I was really little (like 5 or 6 years old), pottery was a special interest for me, so thanks for reminding me of a simpler time

[@pandabugdiaries2384]

I love the tiny teapots! for the style of tea i typically do they are the perfect size!

[@lucasmerino4982]

Can´t wait to see the teapot glazed!

[@violentfrog_]

most of the teapots the potters I watch make are way too big. Nice to finally see something more useful for gong fu tea styel.

[@mikeysmall88]

I thought the tap centring video was going to be the best ever! This is not bad😊😂

[@floriangadsby]

I had to delay it by a week! There was some tweaking I had to do… sorry!

[@clarabisson7299]

your glazes break over edges so you made the corner of the lid 90 degrees. What about an acute angles, or even shallow wells, would that produce like a transparent area or dark ring respectively

[@user-ug6ct1qg5g]

Fabulous Florian...your skill and craftsmanship are exceptional, a truly wonderful video...well done😊👍

[@RoofAndAMeal4UsAll]

I drill 2 perfect alignment holes in my mdf bat blanks based on a template, spin the rough cut bats on the wheel to make the finish cut lines then cut them all out so there's no need for fussing with clay as glue to keep the bat on the wheel, the bats are always flat to the wheel. My bats are slightly thicker however. Are there not so many good reasons for making small pieces! Cheaper to ship, use less clay, fit more in the kiln so energy efficient, smaller boxes needed, easier for customer to fit the product in with all of their other stuff, and stuff of absolute quality like this guy's, I hope he gets a lot for these!

[@somethingawesomeemm7325]

This is so satisfying and inspiring ❤

[@AudenimLock]

It’s so dinky😮!!! Job well done 👏

[@TSS161]

very cute! but the perfect size teapot is still one for two teacups worth. Either you and a friend or just all for yourself

[@wartris1]

Lovely Florian!

[@ashleyschmitz271]

I love your content

[@rivercuperus1158]

What a pleasant video! Would you recommend any other youtubers?

[@darkmann12]

Nice to see serious tea-heads in the comments.

I love the art of pottery but man I hate the sound it makes when moving/scraping... it really irks me. Lol.
