The listing, Hand Crafted Decorative Gourd Teapot has ended.
Shabby Chic! This is a hand crafted teapot created with various gourds. The body is made from a cannonball gourd (approx 8" in diameter), dyed a deep forest green and sanded, etc, to create the distressed look. The large pink rose on the front is also hand painted. Gourds were used by pioneers for dishes, cups, bowls, etc, however this is intended for decorative use only. It is NOT dishwasher safe. To clean/dust, simply use clean dust cloth. Great piece for the country kitchen or Victorian decor.
