“I used my favorite novel, Jane Eyre, as the inspiration for my teapot. The body of the teapot represents Thornfield in flames, with a flame forming the spout. Bertha, Rochester’s mad wife, is the handle, and a miniature bust of Jane, the heroine and main character, sits atop the structure.” — Janice Dillman
Dimensions: 10.5″ wide x 7.5″ high x 4.5″ deep. Clay, handbuilt, underglazed.

I taught high school English for 20 years. After retiring, I took art classes at Queens College. For a ceramics class, we were asked to create a teapot.
