Yuan Kuang Qing Shui Ni "Golden Gourd" Masterwork Yixing
Yuan Kuang Qing Shui Ni "Golden Gourd" Masterwork Yixing
Tea Pot
Yixing Tea Pot
Crafted By Zhu Huan
The gourd form might very well be the original water vessel.
Pre-pottery and pre metal-work, our ancestors had access to hollowed gourds. This ancient grounding continues to inform yixing design even today.
This pot is a celebration of Yixing’s connection to early history, evoking a perfectly-formed pumpkin.
In potter Zhu Huan’s hands, this pot takes on effortless grace with perfect finishing work and details like a lid handle that mimics the pot body.
The Qing Shui Ni clay will continue to grow deeper and more lustrous with years of use.
