elephant and giraffe teapots
Elephants make great teapots , they hold lots of tea and the trunk was designed by nature to pour [ also by physics to break ....sigh! ].. My original giraffe teapot came from my search for teapot appropriate animals , like the elephant great pour ... almost too great... the tea can build up quite a lot of force by the time it reaches the spout! Altered slab , saltfired cone 10 with low fire lustres.
snail teapot

In my ongoing search for teapotable animals .. the snail ... ... for some reason when you draw a liquid from the bottom of a teapot it does not behave the same as drawing it from , say , !/2 way down ... it tends to burble ... but I am not going to re-design the snail !!!.... salt fired with slips, stains and low fire lustres..
