Creepy Tea
By Christa TerryRichard Notkin is an American ceramic artist best know for his reinterpretations of traditional Yixing pottery, i.e., clay teapots.

He is also apparently one seriously deranged dude. His teapots resemble, among other things, grimacing skulls, human hearts, body parts looped with chain, and strangely-rendered water towers.
Tea, anyone?

As a potter myself, I have to say I think these are so cool. They don’t freak me out at all -to me the cultural significance and art overcomes any mental barriers I might have towards skulls or bones.
