Crafted By Dangzhen Pichu
This incredible little teapot was hand-built and traditionally fired by master Dangzhen Pichu in Nixi village, the home to one of the oldest pottery traditions in Tibet. This piece is formally situated between a modern gongfu style and the ancient Tibetan yak butter brewing pot form, incorporating Dangzhen Pichu’s research in Yixing with his mastery of the Nixi style, evident from the decorative crested top and gestural carving. he silver sweeping across the form is a rare effect of firing called yaobian that is highly sought after because it can only occur through chance during traditional bonfire firing. The interior of the pot is rough-hewn, leaving intentional indentations to show the role of the artist. This piece will absorb the flavor and aroma of tea over time and build a beautiful patina like Yixing, and has been hand-signed on the bottom by master Dingzhen Pichu.
