Master Peng Yu’s teaware is imbued with the “beauty of imperfection”—the result of the artisan’s many 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 ancient elegance. This aesthetic pursuit is realized through nearly twenty meticulous stages of craftsmanship.
He uses native natural clay from primary deposits and fires his kiln exclusively with firewood. No artificial glazes. The pieces derive their luster from the very “life” of the kiln: over three days and two nights under extreme temperatures, natural wood ash settles onto the clay, melts, and transforms into a living glaze that vitrifies into unique patterns and textures.
The calligraphy is applied by hand, with a texture reminiscent of burnt oil paints.
