Wood-fired rustic gold-painted teapot/classical teapot/handmade by Xiao Pingfan

I have been very busy at work recently, and I have seen more than 30 unread messages on my phone. But every time I return to the cabin, I take out my beloved Japanese iron kettle, boil water, wait for the water to boil, and watch the steam coming out of the spout, my heart will slowly calm down. Next, pick a teapot that suits your mood for the day, like an emperor choosing his concubine 🤣🤣 And this teapot is the kind that makes people relax just by looking at it. The round body, natural firewood glaze color is like bronze in the sun, warm and shiny. The button on the lid is very cute, elegant and stable. "Real leisure time is the ten minutes when you pour yourself a cup of tea amidst your busy schedule." It goes without saying that the water is flowing and stopping, without any rush or impatience, and there is a comfortable and smooth feeling when pouring tea. This is a teapot that can accompany you through life. #Teapot capacity: about 200cc #The pot body is round and full #Water without drooling The beauty of life starts with a beautiful teapot. In the 5th Shanghai International Wood-fired Ceramics Competition in 2023, the works of two authors from Xiao Pingfan Pottery Studio, Chen Shiping and Wang Yufan, were selected for the Excellence Award.

Each creative product has a unique design. The process of pure hand-kneading or pulling gives life to the work. Each work is unique. The works of Taofang are created by my husband and I together, so there are signatures of "Ping" or "Fan". Some works will have the signature of "Xiao Pingfan Taofang", which is 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/65535/51567015014_0b15931da0_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51565549942_7663197885_h.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567015039_4c2a9b80e3_c.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 machine) to slowly shape the clay. After the basic shape is formed, the lines of the clay are trimmed, and then it is polished to complete the initial clay. After entering the kiln, it undergoes a non-stop firewood burning process with 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 patterns in the kiln will also flow between the works, forming beautiful orange-red or blue-purple fire pattern traces. After five days and four nights of ash and fire patterns, it takes another week of cooling to achieve the beautiful shape of a work! Since the atmosphere in the kiln is different each time the wood is fired, the ash and fire patterns of each work cannot be the same, making each work unique! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567015104_1eec785177_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567264535_7bd0037e60_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51565533012_fdce6d65a3_h.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51566346721_2b98f539f8_c.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, and 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! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51565533097_13ea71a377_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51565533012_219eca4133_c.jpg **4.
