Wonki and J : ceramic teapot
A medium-sized hand-thrown stoneware teapot by Melbourne ceramicists Wonki and J. Made from iron-rich clay and finished with a white slip glaze, the surface reveals soft speckles and exposed edges where the darker clay shows through. Its rounded form, secure-fitting lid and balanced proportions make it as satisfying to use as it is to leave on the table.

made in Melbourne by Wonki and J
Working with iron-rich clay, white slip and self-developed clay blends, each piece of Wonki and J is made with ease and natural flow. Rooted in Buncheong tradition, the dipping in white slip captures a moment of movement. Surfaces keep traces of making, with small marks left visible and a slight wonkiness that holds the movement of the hand and the making.
Each work is shaped by process rather than control, finding its own quiet form.
