"Over the top" handle teapot

Here's a style I haven't done in a while, maybe 6 months, I really like the dramatic sweeping handle, but it's dangerous! I had one that I loved to use at home and one morning, while making tea, while still half asleep I flipped it over to dump out the old tea (from the night before) and banged the handle on the sink faucet and it broke, after that I switched to making smaller handles. I guess it was time to get back on that horse. It needs a little more work on the handle where it joins to the spout, but its just about finished. And, if you're wondering, the markings on the body are stamps I was playing around with. By the way I almost lost this one, while I was trimming the foot it jumped off the wheel! It was dented and disfigured, but I managed to mostly right it again and save it. You can see from the top picture I was planning to put a side handle on it, but I thought it was too big so I ditched it for the over the top style, and in so doing I also had to ditch the mouth style for the spout that's sitting there in the top picture as well. Not too shabby I think..
