Yukon Teapot and Lid

  • Philip Cornelius, Yukon Teapot and Lid, 1981, porcelain, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Gift of Dorothy and George Saxe, 1995.78.1A-B

Luce Center Label

Philip Cornelius feels that his thinware must be held to be appreciated, and the bumpy surface of Yukon Teapot certainly encourages that. The artist's pots appear fragile and delicate, but are actually quite durable because of the intense heat he uses to fire them.
