Clay, Master Peng Yu
"Rock Painting II", 100 ml
“In its essence, it is a worship of the Imperfect.”
Okakura Kakuzo, “The Book of Tea”
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 primal ancient elegance. This aesthetic pursuit unfolds across nearly twenty production stages.
For materials, he uses local natural clay from primary deposits and exclusively firewood for fuel. No artificial glazes are used. The pieces gain their luster from the very “life” of the kiln: over three days and two nights under extreme temperatures, natural wood ash settles on the clay, melts, and transforms into a living glaze that sets into unique mottling and textures.
This teacup is inspired by ancient rock art and hand-painted by Master Peng Yu.
