A studio pottery sculpture in the form of a teapot titled "Kitchen Teapot" by the American artist Jerry Berta. A white ceramic sculpture depicts multiple household appliances including a vacuum, stove, refrigerator, toaster, and teapot. The toaster functions as a lid with the teapot functioning as a spout and the vacuum as a handle. This piece is signed and titled to the verso.
Jerry Berta received his BFA from Wayne State University in 1973 and began operating his own studio in 1975. Berta restores classic diners, which is further reflected in his unique studio pottery that encompasses American life. His work has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of Art, among others.
