Jianshui pottery, Master Pu Yuanwei
"Antique Bronze" Teapot, 185 ml
The shape, texture, and distinctive patina evoke ancient bronze vessels, transforming an ordinary teapot into an object with a striking character. The teapot's body, with bronze-olive and brown gradients, mimics the natural aging of metal, while the relief inscriptions and ornaments create the impression of an unearthed ancient artifact. Remarkably, the master uses 5 types of clay to achieve this "patina."
The teapot's lid is "guarded" by a mythological creature.
Each teapot by the master is unique: the texture and character of the surface depend on the firing process, making them impossible to replicate completely. Slight asymmetry, organic geometry, and marks of handcrafting emphasize its individuality.
A velvety-smooth surface, dense clay structure, excellent heat retention, and an incredible pour make this a true work of art by Master Pu Yuanwei.
