Function is a central issue in every pot that Walter Keeler makes; rising to the challenge of utilitarian demands he experiences a timeless pleasure in useful objects. Making playful reference to the eccentric inventiveness of the emerging pottery industry in 18th century Staffordshire, thorns and branches which seem daunting, even threatening, are turned to practical ends as thumb holds on handles. This is not just a teapot, it is an artefact with rich meaning.

Mae swyddogaeth yn ystyriaeth canolig i bob potyn gan Walter Keeler; gan ymateb i her gofynion iwtilitaraidd mae’n profi pleser oesol mewn gwrthrychau defnyddiol. Gan wneud cyfeiriad chwareus at ddyfeisgarwch ecsentrig egin ddiwydiant crochenwaith 18fed ganrif Swydd Stafford, caiff drain a changhennau ymddangosol frawychus, bygythiol hyd yn oed, eu troi at ddiben ymarfeol fel lle i ddal bodiau ar ddolenni. Nid tebot yn unig yw hwn, mae’n arteffact llawn ystyr cyfoethog.
