When I reassembled this oval cross-section Teapot Ring, I faced all the cut-out channel surfaces in the same direction, as I did in the Blue Channels Reassembled Ring Teapot and the Green Rider Reassembled Ring Teapot. I assembled the fifth arc section as a brace inside the two arc sections to the right, and placed the section with the lid and finial into the V joint on the left. I was beginning to see that I didn't have to reassemble the arc sections end-to-end, and this was opening up many new sculptural possibilities, which I more completely employed with my Sky Blue Torn-Ends Reassembled Ring Teapot. I tried 4 or 5 different finials on the Pink-Green Oval lid, and finally settled on the zigzag lightning bolt as distinctive but not overpowering—I had not heard of Harry Potter's forehead scar at that time! I like this Teapot composition very much; it reminds me of Superman's "S" symbol, or a warrior's shield. I glazed it in pale green covered with pink. In some places the green comes through, and in some places the pink dominates. I consider this piece an elegant expression of my Reassembled Ring Teapot concept.
