Heath Ceramics Teapot

Recently picked up this beauty.  While the teapot is back in production, this is a vintage example.

Re: Heath Ceramics

Just like Edgar Kaufmann Jr. said of Edith Heath's work...classically modern. Nice!

Re: Heath Ceramics

A few years ago I had also found a green gunmetal teapot so I'm curious if your's is marked with the HEATH mark that has the elongated T ending with what I assume is a cup?

 

Thanks

Heath Ceramics: Factory Tour

Oh my... When you mentioned that this beauty was back in production I immediately Googled Heath. To my surprise they have a factory right near my city (San Francisco), in Sausalito, just over the Golden Gate bridge, and they give FREE tours!!! Has anyone visited it? I am going to have to put this on my To-Do list, sounds fun doesn't it!

Beautiful photo too!

@ mod-mod-world:  FYI, you may already have seen this, but Heath recently opened a retail space in the Ferry Building.  Love to hear about the factory tour (I need to get over there and do that too).

Re: Heath Ceramics: Factory Tour

I went to the factory outlet in Sausalito while my husband and I were driving down the coast about a month ago.  I didn't take the factory tour, but did peek in the factory windows.  It is amazing how unfactory-like it is.  I also managed to pick up a stray lid for my casserole that I found at the thrift store a while back sans lid.
