New Year's Gift Golden Rhyme Bursting Xishi Teapot

This Xishi teapot breaks away from the traditional smooth and rounded impression, using the visually striking **"cracked lines"** as its core design element. The deep and fine cracks resemble the veins of parched earth or the natural peeling of old wood bark, showcasing a robust vitality emerging from the cocoon on the graceful shape of the Xishi teapot. The inverted handle design not only balances the visual center of gravity but also provides an excellent grip, making it a tea ceremony art piece that combines rugged aesthetics with practical function. 【Craftsmanship Details: A Century of Techniques and the Tempering of Fire】 • Century-Old Techniques: Handcrafted by Wu Hongrui, founder of "Chuanhu Workshop" and fourth-generation descendant of a ceramic family, inheriting the family's century-old pottery firing experience and exquisite craftsmanship. • Cracked Line Technique: The ultimate cracked lines stem from the creator's precise control over the shrinkage ratio of the clay and the changes in firing temperature. Each crack is naturally formed at high temperatures, resulting in rich layers and a unique tactile feel. • Acacia Wood Fire Refining: We insist on using acacia wood as fuel for wood firing. Under high-temperature tempering, the unique oils of acacia wood combine with the ash and clay to form a unique metallic luster. • Unglazed: Fired without glaze, the rich colors on the surface are entirely created by the interplay of fire marks and ash. Wood-fired pottery contains abundant minerals, which soften water, making the tea soup sweeter and smoother. |Pre-Purchase Notice| 1. All pieces in our shop are handmade and unique.
