I create visually pleasing pots that are unique in character but also useful in everyday life. The inspiration for my pieces comes from Victorian pottery, glass and silver serving forms, and floral designs on Japanese pottery of the same era. I use a high-fire porcelain body in an electric kiln and have formulated my own glazes to imitate the look of a traditional celadon glaze. Since graduate school, I have fired my pieces in an oxidized environment to achieve bright colors, whether in a gas kiln or an atmospheric kiln. My pieces are now fired in an electric kiln in which I can control the cooling process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003e*Teapots that are purchased will remain on display in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition, through September 14, 2026. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003eAfter the show closes, teapots will be carefully packed and shipped by September 28, or they may be picked up at the gallery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"National Teapot Show XIII","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44345531269372,"sku":"NTSXIII-167-1","price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/8146\/2941\/files\/167-1JenniferMeccapic1.jpg?v=1776973873","url":"https:\/\/cedarcreekgallery.com\/products\/jennifer-mecca-blue-bird-teapot","provider":"Cedar Creek Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
