In her early career, Virginia Cartwright was known for wheel-thrown pieces, however, she soon began to hand and slab-build thein walled functional work. Cartwright's surfaces are almost always left unglazed. Skills previously learned from sewing and metal smithing influenced the construction of her hand-built pieces. To create the forms, she would remove a triangle of clay, as if making a dart for constructing a dress bodice, then bring the clay wings together, which pulled in the form. In the case of Teapot, the triangle cutouts were wide and deep on top and bottom, making the form 'rounder.' The collar and lid were also hand shaped.
