Teapot

The experimental white teapot has a striking spherical shape. The design dates from the 1970s when Piet Stockmans worked as a designer for Mosa in Maastricht. In the household porcelain department he conducted a number of experiments to see if some of these could be industrially produced in series. In this case, it remained a series of 30 pieces.

In the teapot, the foot is eccentric in the direction of the ear because it weighs more than the spout. It flows organically from the spherical shape. The sturdy shape and vertical placement of the ear is due to the planned deformation that occurs during the firing process. Thorough knowledge of the kiln is essential for the designer in this case.

The lid of the teapot is placed centrally in the volume. There is also clear evidence here of constant interactions between the free-working artist-artisan and the applied work of the industrial designer. To this day, there is still cohabitation between both aspects of these 'disciplines'.
