Looking at assassin's teapots on Google images it seems like there's more than a few 3-d printed versions which....I guess that's one way around the engineering problem but do you really want your hot beverage container made out of thermal plastic??

I am such a dummy until I looked at a diagram I actually thought this was a triple-chamber deal instead of the fluids mixing in the pour

The Assassin's Teapot

The assassin’s teapot is a cleverly designed container that can pour from different reservoirs depending on how it’s held. Steve Mould digs into the physics in this video, and he builds a transparent cutaway version of the pot to show exactly how it works.  (Video and image credit: S. Mould) Read the full article

Ran a bisque load. Look at how difference

Thinking of doing a whole line of "sparkling water" handles

Very cool! Wish you luck on your pottery journey!

Oh, highly recommend! I mostly construct teapots the traditional way, but since this is neriage I did this for better continuity between lid&body, and like any technique it has its drawbacks&advantages and there's a thousand and one off-camera things I did to finesse the form. If it encourages you to try something new outside your comfort zone, I heartily co-sign!

(Do not recommend re-moistening scraps to make a handle, though. That was an act of sheer desperation because I used the last of my white clay for the body)

You murder-minded maniacs, I like the cut of your jib. Assassin's teapot it is!

Feeling like I've made enough conventional pottery for now, I'd like to try a weird lil guy.

Trying to make another neriage teapot in the closed-form method. Key word: *trying*

Hi there, enjoy these pigeons I found today

Another round o' slab mugs. Trying my new "stitch" technique on the handles, seems to be going okay.

Another repaint, this time a peacock jumping spider (by request) I feel like I got the colors down pretty good but the proportions just...aren't there. Lol it was a dollar tree toy after all

[madsciencepottery]

I can't stop making stamps. Halp.

Have I mentioned I love making texture tools from found texture? Because I do
