Teapot with Lid

Object Details

Artist

Ragnar Naess, born Morristown, NJ 1942

Luce Center Label

Ragnar Naess’s small Teapot with Lid shows his careful technique of decorating the simple surfaces of his vessels. Parallel sections of incised lines feed from the top of the pot down to the middle. Naess hints at what the inside of the pot looks like by allowing a thin coat of white glaze to spill out of the spout and cover the tip.
