Masterwork Nixi Large Shell Pot
Masterwork Nixi Large Shell Pot

Crafted By Dangzhen Pichu
In ancient Tibetan Nixi village shells were an important part of Buddhist iconography, representing the voice of the Buddha. This stunning hand-made one-of-a-kind pot evokes the auspicious shell in the lines of its form, tapping into ancient aesthetics while staying true to a modern and elegant sensibility. The 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 bears master Dangzhen Pichu’s seal under the unique long handle.
