Salt Glazed Teapot by Jeremy Nichols, UK

Salt-Glazed Teapot by Jeremy Nichols, with potters mark to underside.

28 cm from tip of spout to end of handle, base 10.5cm 

A beautifully sculptural salt-glazed teapot by British potter Jeremy Nichols, known for his distinctive approach to form, balance and the expressive possibilities of salt firing. This example shows his signature aerodynamic silhouette, with the extended spout and curved handle. The salt-glaze finish gives the surface its characteristic subtle sheen and fine orange-peel texture. 

Perfect as a functional pot or as a standalone display piece, it sits comfortably within both contemporary and mid-century interiors.

Condition: As new 

About Jeremy Nichols

Jeremy Nichols (b. 1957) is a highly regarded British studio potter best known for his salt-glazed teapots, jugs and pouring vessels. He originally trained in engineering science at Durham University and pursued a career in theatre lighting before studying ceramics at Camberwell College of Arts and the Royal College of Art.

Nichols’ work is distinguished by its architectural precision, meticulously designed components and technical control of the salt-firing process. His teapots - often described as “aerodynamic” or “mechanical”- combine complex construction with a strong sense of balance and playfulness. He is a Fellow of the Craft Potters Association and exhibits internationally, with pieces held in significant private and public collections. 

Each work is formed in stoneware and salt-fired to achieve its unique surface and tonal variation, making every piece one of a kind.
