Crafted By Wang Jie

This beautiful Zhu Ni pot from up and coming artist Wang Jie shows off her mastery of classic forms, especially considering how much more meticulous craft is required to work at this small pot scale. Pots under 100ml are more and more rare as potters turn to large format work, but decades ago, small pots like this one were the classic favorite for extended gongfu sessions. This Ming Shi Qin Quan pot features a decorative fluted handle and a wide spout for a fast and controlled pour. The clay itself is ready to take on luster and patina over years of brewing.

    ABOUT THE ARTIST: Wang Jie

    Apprentice Yixing Craftsperson
    Outstanding Youth Potter

    Born in the ceramics capital Yixing, Wang Jie has always had a deep love for art and culture, particularly for the ancient Yixing tradition. As an apprentice, Wang Jie has benefited from the experience, guidance and inspiration of many seasoned Yixing master craftspeople, developing a solid foundation for her own practice as a potter.

    Following her own path developing a distinct Yixing style, Wang Jie has relied on her solid fundamentals, and strived for excellence in artistic vision in setting an individual style. Critically, Wang Jie’s work is meant to be appreciated to its fullest while in use, tying traditional pottery to its roots in traditional gongfu tea.

    Over the years, Wang Jie has formed collaborative partnerships with international artists to bring carving, gold laying and calligraphic prowess to her work. Even early in her career, her pots have found their way to many museum collections for their unique beauty.
