Crafted By Zhu Huan

This stunning sculptural piece is potter Zhu Huan’s take on the traditional Shi Piao form.

The Shi Piao is a celebration of perfect triangles, mirrored in the proportion of the pot body, the lid and spout, an aesthetic reflection of Taoist aesthetics. The rich, subtly-mottled Yuan Kuang Hong Chen Pi clay brings a quiet but elegant natural and organic side to a form that is typically purely geometric.

This balance of natural elements and geometry rounds out the Shi Piao’s mirrored form as an ultimate expression of tightly-wound balance and grace.

Every detail, from the long spout to the triangular handle and shi piao feet make this teapot a pleasure to use, and the original deposit clay will continue to grow deeper and more lustrous over time.
