Teapot Teapot
This is a teapot. It was designed by Chunghi Choo and made by Chunghi Choo. It is dated 1988 and we acquired it in 1992. Its medium is silver-plated copper, anodized aluminum, onyx. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Choo creates vessels intended to add heightened sensuousness and a feeling of celebration to daily life. Choo says of this piece that the “handle and knob are three-dimensional transcriptions of strokes of my brush calligraphy; sweeping movements of my brush . . . give [my work] a flowing line of energy.”
This object was featured in our Object of the Week series in a post titled Going with the Flow.
