Rippling with dynamic energy, architectural power and the kind of effortless grace that only National Master Potter Tang Xianwu can bring to a piece, this pot, “Awakening” is a dramatic museum-level expression of Yixing culture of the highest tier. 

The name “Wu Neng” literally means to awaken energy, and has the connotation of unleashing power, of bringing something remarkable into the world. Indeed, the pot is ready to lend its presence to awakening the very finest teas, taking on an even deeper richer patina over years of use. 

Notice the incredible faceting work and the way the facets continue seamlessly across the lid all the way to the lid handle, while transitioning to smooth clay for the spout and pot handle’s long elegant forms.

Even before the pot has been seasoned, the golden duan ni glows with warmth and depth.
