TEA AND COFFEE SET: porcelain

A molding of the brass Water Can was the basis for the porcelain model. Its glazed from the inside. The porcelain cup is also based on a mold of the brass cup.

   

In the process of burning the porcelain the objects had a contraction of ca. 14%.

When the porcelain was ready the next problem was the pouring. The water didn’t run out clean. So to ensure a clean pouring effect the pot needed a proper spout. I attached a short cylindrical spout to the unburned porcelain body, which mainly solved the problem.

WATER CAN: brass silvered

To find a shape I started crafting a can with brass. On top of a bowl shaped base I brazed a conical body with a simple hole as the spout. I used this brass can as a casting mold for a porcelain version.It has a round enchased bottom the finish is a silver covering.

In the end I silvered the brass can to be food safe.
