Master Peng Yu's teaware is imbued with the “beauty of imperfection”—the result of the artisan'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 primal antique refinement. This aesthetic pursuit is realized through nearly twenty meticulous production stages.
For materials, he uses native natural clay from primary deposits and exclusively firewood for fuel. No artificial glazes are used. The pieces owe their sheen to the very “life” of the kiln: over three days and two nights of ultra-high temperatures, natural wood ash settles on the clay, melting and transforming into a living glaze that cools into unique markings and textures.
This teacup is adorned with spots reminiscent of amber inclusions, while its surface is hand-painted with calligraphy. High-temperature firing has created a crackled glass layer at the bottom.
