This pot is a quintessential Tang Xianwu piece, capturing this award-winning National Master Potter’s ability to capture a sense of drama, and heightened ritual while pulling off an effortless grace in her sculptural forms.

The pot is a tactile pleasure to hold, with a lid that fits so smoothly and a strong smooth pour. The unique yuan kuang clay is an all natural old deposit Jin Sha Duan Ni full of deep speckling and complexity ready to grow over many years.

Tang Xian Wu’s has gained steady fame and accolades over the years, winning awards at every competition, so we are excited to still be able to offer her work due to a long working relationship.

This particular pot evokes the concept of “awakening” to peace or quietude, a meditative act deeply connected to gongfu tea ritual, captured by the rippling upward reaching lines on the pot body, like a gently rippling pond while the sense of sun glinting off water at midday is brought to bear with the careful application of gold, ready to grow even more lustrous with years of brewing.
