KAWS - Ceramic Teapot (Black)
Limited Edition of 1,000 | Functional Art
Art Trader Curator's Note:
While the white edition nods to traditional porcelain history, the Black Ceramic Teapot is a sleek, modern reinterpretation of the domestic object. The deep black glaze gives the teapot a liquid-like finish, allowing the light to accentuate the curves of the "XX" gloved hands that form the spout and handle. It is understated yet commanding—a perfect example of KAWS's ability to infiltrate the home with subversive elegance.
Why Collect the "Black" Edition? (Market & Style)
-
The "1 of 1,000" Rarity: Like its white counterpart, this is strictly limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide. In the vast ecosystem of KAWS collectibles, owning an object with such a low production run places you in an exclusive tier of collectors.
-
Industrial Aesthetic: The Black edition pairs exceptionally well with concrete, steel, and wood textures found in modern industrial interiors. It feels less like "kitchenware" and more like an architectural object or a centerpiece for a coffee table.
-
Practical Luxury: From a functional standpoint, the black glaze is forgiving. It does not show tea stains or discoloration over time, making it the preferred choice for collectors who intend to actually use the art for serving guests.
Broker Verified: Condition Report
Black ceramics are beautiful but can reveal surface imperfections (like scratches or uneven glazing) more easily than white. Art Trader ensures quality control.
-
Condition: Mint / Unused. We examine the glaze under direct light to ensure the black finish is uniform and free from factory "pitting" or surface abrasions.
-
Packaging: Includes the original protective box. Keeping the packaging is vital for maintaining the "Limited Edition" value.
-
Authenticity: Authentic markings and edition info verified on the base.
-
Capacity: 800 ml (Functional size).
