Jianshui pottery, Master Feng Yaocheng
“Mouse and Elephant” Teapot, 170 ml
This teapot is crafted in the master's signature style. The teapot's body is shaped like an elephant, while the lid is crowned with a mouse, alluding to the classic parable of the great elephant and the tiny mouse.
The surface of the teapot is decorated with an imprint of a Bodhi leaf, and reduction firing creates an intricate texture with natural color gradations. The finish gains depth and character, as if the piece has already lived a history of its own.
Each teapot is unique: the pattern and surface texture depend entirely on the firing process, making exact replication impossible. Subtle asymmetry, organic geometry, and traces of handcrafted artistry highlight its distinct personality.
A velvety-smooth touch, dense clay structure, excellent heat retention, and an exceptional pour make this a true work of art by Master Feng Yaocheng.
