Master Peng Yu's teaware is imbued with the "beauty of imperfection"—the result of the master's years of immersion in the philosophy of wabi-sabi. Each piece captures a dialogue between Earth and Fire, embodying the Eastern spirit of Zen: natural simplicity and the primal elegance of antiquity. This aesthetic pursuit is achieved through nearly twenty meticulous production stages.
He uses local natural clay from primary deposits and exclusively firewood for fuel. No artificial glazes are used. The luster is bestowed by the very "life" of the kiln: over three days and two nights under ultra-high temperatures, natural wood ash settles on the clay, melts, and transforms into a living glaze that solidifies into unique patterns and textures.
The calligraphy is applied by hand by the master, while the intense firing heat has formed a pool of crackled green glass at the bottom. A work of art born of clay and fire in the wabi-sabi style.
