Dr Iskandar enthusiastically shares that he has a "love-hate relationship with the teapot" but never grows tired of crafting it*. The teapot is an indispensable vessel in Dr Iskandar's practice, exuding elegance and refinement. This sleek black teapot boasts a cylindrical body that elegantly flares at its base. A polished metal handle attaches to the pot through two prominent lugs, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. The teapot radiates the essence of Asian tea rituals, whether ceremonial or social. Its beauty and resonance captivate potters, making it an alluring vessel to create. However, beneath its simple exterior lies a profound challenge: mastering the teapot's intricate structure demands great skill from a potter. Perfecting the spout's angle and size, securing the lid, and designing the handle to facilitate effortless lifting and smooth pouring without spillage or dribbling are just a few of the demanding tasks that face a potter seeking to master this delicate art form.
