teaset for BR, day 2



So we have the before and after, and we can imagine this nice teaset fired red and with a bamboo handle. I must say, though, this teapot does not look big enough for four big mugs of tea, but OH WELL, tough bananas. Now the trick is to sell BR two MORE teasets, despite my abusive approach to customer satisfaction.

One teaset is never enough. It's a True Fact!

I know, I bet I could fill br's house.

so far, the customer isn't worried. everything looks great. If the pot is not big enough I'll just give it away and we'll start again.

I really like that swirl pattern, Gary. Fingers?

I am curious, however, what happened to the "enormous teapot" you spoke of earlier? if you say "I reserve the right change orders on a whim" I will accept that as standard artisan flakery err, I mean creativity.

BR, my friend, it IS an enormous teapot, but the mugs are big enough too, and today when I looked at cups and pot together, it didn't look like it was gonna add up.....maybe I will make another. Hard to believe, but I do actually want my customers to be happy, and it isn't like this one has 'BR' stamped on it. Plus, heh heh, there has been talk of yellow teasets too...
Gordo, trade secret, shared with you when you come over and your kids are getting filthy in my studio.

Deal. We gave Phil a kid's pottery wheel for his birthday last year, but he managed to kill the motor the first time out. I think we'll look for something a littel more robust.

I'm sure the teapot is fine. don't go making a whole bunch of stuff just to appease me. The set that you posted yesterday looks great. talks of other sets is just that, talk. this is the order baby! Big storm coming tomorrow and friday. everything should be sunny by mid march for your poterry laden trip up here.

Too late, br, too late....
Greg and Gordo---I have a variety of fun outings and such planned. You have been warned.........whether you come over bachelor or with family, fun can be had.

Gordo said...

"Big storm", BR? 5cm of snow followed by a day of rain does not a big storm make.

You'll have to go easy on me, Gary. I haven't set foot in the US since 1999.

I know Gordo, no probs....actually, ice ice baby is expected here, in many and deep and difficult layers. A bit of a challenge for drivers.

take it up with the CBC gordo. they haven't stopped warning the public since yesterday that thursday and friday will be treacherous. a bit of rain at 0 degrees where I live and that means "long weekend" friend.

yeah, and I don't have any sand, BUT with plenty of whisky on hand and chocolate too, we should be fine
