Wood-fired porcelain clay teapot with golden handle / Xiao Pingfan Handmade

What kind of teapot can make every brewing feel like a noble ritual? This teapot is exquisitely crystal clear, its ash accumulating under high temperatures to a jade-like hue, like dewdrops on a winter morning. Leopard-print ash and fire patterns intertwine around the teapot, creating a work of abstract art. A closer look reveals the teapot's surroundings dotted with natural ash, just the right amount, a subtle touch of emerald green against the pure white of jade. In reality, every detail is a product of the kiln's transformation. As the tea flows, time seems to stand still within the cup... This teapot is filled with a deep sense of tranquility, and each brewing is like a noble ritual. The beauty of life starts with a beautiful teapot. Capacity: 180cc Xiao Pingfan Pottery Studio's creations are not mass-produced. Each piece is uniquely designed and inspired, brought to life through the hand-kneading or throwing process. Each piece is truly one-of-a-kind. Our works are created by our husband and wife, hence the signatures "Ping" or "Fan." Larger pieces are stamped "Xiao Pingfan Pottery Studio," making them truly unique! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567264550_68d52fdae8_b.jpg **1. What is the origin of the work?** We mostly use American soil, Japanese soil, and Taiwanese Miaoli soil for our creations. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51565549867_2d00e9c5fb_b.jpg **2. What is the wood-fired process?** American clay, Japanese clay, and Miaoli clay are mixed in different proportions. The production process is purely hand-kneading (not a clay pulling machine) to slowly shape the clay. After the basic shape is formed, the lines of the clay are trimmed, and then polished to complete the initial clay. After entering the kiln, it undergoes a continuous fire process using natural longan wood and acacia wood for five days and four nights, raising the temperature to over 1,200 degrees. During this period, natural ash will adhere to the work, forming a special ash glaze; at the same time, the fire marks in the kiln will also flow between the works, forming beautiful orange-red or blue-purple fire mark traces. After five days and four nights of falling ash and intertwining flames, it takes another week for the temperature to cool down before the beautiful work is finally formed! Each piece is unique! The high temperature of the traditional wood-fired method imparts a far-infrared effect, making it perfect for brewing tea! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51566330016_d46035182e_b.jpg **3. What should VIPs pay attention to?** The color of the product may vary slightly due to the light source of the photography. The work is purely handmade and will definitely leave traces of the texture of the work. The work may also have slight differences due to the firing process. It is normal for the rim to be crooked or there to be some scratches during the production. It can definitely be used normally. Please understand!
