Teapot 1999

Leila Denecke's "Teapot" (1999) is a ceramic work featuring a red-brown clay body with a mottled green glaze. The teapot has a unique, rounded shape with a wide, flat spout and a lid that sits atop the vessel like a saucer. The uneven, speckled glaze gives the teapot a rustic, handmade quality. This piece is an excellent example of the artist's mastery of ceramic form and glaze application, showcasing her skill in creating functional and aesthetically pleasing pottery. It is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
