VIDEO EXTRA: Teapot exhibit at Fuller Craft Museum
The teapots on display at the Fuller Craft Museum don’t look like the kind one would see at the local kitchen supply store.
One teapot resembles an elephant made of yarn. Another is shaped like a purse. One looks like Marilyn Monroe. And none has ever been used for tea.
But collector Arthur Goldberg of Chestnut Hill — who donated dozens of pots from his private collection for the exhibit, which will run through Feb. 8 — says that’s not the point.
“Sometimes people do not understand why I collect teapots — if I am not a tea drinker or the teapots are not functional,” he writes in a catalogue about the exhibit. “My mission is to talk about the beauty and aesthetics of teapots.”
About 50 people attended a museum lecture and slide show on Sunday by Leslie Ferrin of Ferrin Gallery in Pittsfield, author of “Teapots Transformed: Object to Subject,” (1999).
