I didn't get it done in 4 minutes, but did finish throwing and assembling in one hour. I have spent another 30 minutes or so cleaning it up, smoothing it out, cutting the foot, and putting a handle on the teacup. The only thing I have left to do is do a little carving on the handle of the teapot, so it isn't just a bulky, thick, cylinder sticking out of the side of the pot.
Next, I have been trying to decide on the glaze, and have settled (I think) on an Almond Spice interior, and a Mint Irish Creme on the outside... maybe drizzle a little Almond Spice along the top lip to flow down like foam - at least that's the thought process. We all know how often the glaze turns out exactly like we imagine it in our mind's eye. I'll post pics in a week or two when it's finished and glazed!
Edit: Here's photos of the pot and cup...
The cup is dry and the pot is wet...
