Annie Boyer - "Stump" the "Treepot"Annie Boyer Maryland Stoneware, underglaze, and glaze Functional 7. 75"w x 4. 25"l x 5. 25"h About the Teapot This teapot, part of a series of functional wares, is based on my childhood experiences living in the woods in Central Maryland. I spent many years roaming the woods and exploring the nature found there. As a child (and later as an adult) with a vivid imagination, I found the idea of imaginary forest creatures to be a deep well of inspiration.
