This “proof of concept” 12 oz cobalt blue tea pot with a custom made white leather cozy with grey contrast stitching  is beautiful to look at and use (Spencer calls this one the “baseball”, lol).  This pot was created using a spherical mold and then I add handmade items the spout, lid, handle and topper on the lid.  This pot pours decently, it has a bit of a splash, but it’s not to bad, but it may have a drip or two after the pour.    The crystal grown on this pot is wonderful.  I would recommend that you hold the lid on the pot when pouring.  The lid has a leather ring to help protect it.  The lid is very flat and does not conform to the top of the pot.
