This remarkable object looks like a solid iron anvil but is actually a hollow form. Metalsmith Sue Aygarn-Kowalski created this Anvil Teapot from copper sheet, similar to how a silver teapot is made with raising, forming and fabrication processes. She also made the functional hammer from scratch and specializes in making tools. See more fantastic work by Sue Aygarn-Kowalski on her website.
