    This pitcher and brewing vessel is one of the oldest forms in Nixi pottery, with archaeological excavations unearthing similar pieces from over 2000 years ago.

This unique pitcher was fully hand-thrown, with glazes hand blended and dipped, and fired in tiny batches dependent on the whims of weather and kiln heat patterns to achieve the desired effect. Each of Lin Xi’s pitchers is unique, relying on his technique of throwing a wide cup and ‘flicking’ the spout shape at the last moment to achieve the most fluid look. This technique requires the perfect weight and thickness of cup and even just the right humidity and weather to get right, so Lin Xi makes very few pitchers each year.

This pitcher's unique shape is meant to be as close as possible to the classic Jian Zhan tea bowl shape, both for the heat reflection in the kiln and to show off the glazing at the widest angles of light.
