[Cloud-Mist Series] Purple Clay Tea Pitcher with Cloud-Mist Texture and Bamboo Leaf | Capacity approx. 180cc

This purple clay cloud-mist tea pitcher is crafted from high-quality purple clay, known for its excellent breathability. The surface features natural cloud-mist textures with a delicate finish, accented by a subtle, elegant bamboo leaf motif on the right, adding a sense of serene Oriental charm to your tea table. Created using premium-grade purple clay from Taiwan, the piece undergoes a unique clay blending and high-temperature firing process, resulting in superior breathability and stability. The material is breathable yet waterproof, designed to bring out the nuances of tea, enhance the depth and longevity of the aroma, and develop a unique luster through continued use. The piece is unglazed, preserving the original texture and color of the purple clay and allowing the body of the vessel to come into direct contact with the tea. The cloud-mist texture on the surface is sculpted by the artist, featuring fine pores within the pattern. When filled with hot tea, the moisture within these pores reacts to the heat, creating a visible steam effect, reminiscent of swirling clouds. Works by yuhuayuart are dedicated to those who appreciate details and value quality in their daily life, transforming every tea session from a simple act into a continuous experience of enjoyment and refined taste.

Artist | Teacher Yu Hua-Yu Born in 1980, the artist was deeply inspired by pottery throwing during middle school. After completing his military service, he moved to Yingge, where he studied under masters Wu Kuo-Jung and Wu Chien-Tsai, dedicating over twenty years to ceramic art. He has developed series including Yohen Shino, rock mineral, and purple clay cloud-mist, and has successfully recreated the firing techniques of Song Dynasty celadon. Creative Philosophy Teacher Yu focuses on kiln transformation, believing that each piece is a collaboration between the potter and the user that transcends time. Every crack and every layer of color will deepen and enrich through daily use, evolving into an object that embodies the beauty of utility—making the act of tea drinking more than just a routine, but a continuation of enjoyment and taste.
