The teapot was fired in the third and largest of the kiln's four chambers.

It was fired unglazed.

Water was allowed into this chamber, to increase oxidation.

As a result of the conditions in the firing chamber, the teapot has patterns ranging in color from soft blacks to vibrant reds, oranges, browns, and blues.
