"Struttin' Teapot" is part of Lambert's Dancing Teapot series, where the teapot suggests the human form in motion. He also created a Java Jig and a Bebop series, all of which are lively and whimsical in nature, as if they could dance off the table at any moment. This teapot would have originally been part of a set that included a sugar and creamer.
Each piece of Lambert's teapots is carefully assembled from individually cast parts. Lambert said that his work features "...a kind of elegance, but my work also has a cartoon, humorous quality that I enjoy. I love the subtle richness of thick glazes thinning on the edges of bright porcelain."
Around 2008, Lambert closed his studio, and pieces such as this one are difficult to find.
