Tea Pot
Yixing Tea Pot
Crafted By Zhu Huan
Potter Zhu Huan brings an incredibly soft organic feeling to the Xi Shi form.
The Xi Shi is always rounded, but few artists capture the smoothness of transition from body to spout that a Xi Shi deserves, or the the yielding quality of a ball shape being drawn earthwards.
Zhu Huan brings meticulous craft to her Xi Shi to give a feeling of complete grace- a teapot ready to welcome any tea with a feeling of genuine hospitality conveyed in its form.
The exquisite aged Zi Ni clay contributes to this feeling with its soft mottling, ready to take on even more patina over a lifetime of brewing.
