Carte Blanche Porcelain Teapot

The Carte Blanche teapot by Annebet Philips for Serax turns a familiar household object into a playful porcelain design with the character of a hand-drawn prototype.

Its angular form originates from a cardboard model, with the original fold lines and uneven edges preserved in porcelain and traced with deliberately irregular, hand-painted black contours. 

This direct translation from first model to finished object is central to Carte Blanche and gives the teapot its distinctive, almost cartoon-like appearance.
