Original Gold, Two
Original Gold, Two
Unglazed stoneware・5 day wood-fired
One of Liao Guo Hua’s original 3 day fired pieces, this is one of two teapots we acquired that was made nearly 4 years ago. Its aesthetic echoes the pieces we introduced when we launched Song in 2013. The name “original gold”, refers to that earlier aesthetic.
This teapot was hand-thrown from Taiwanese stoneware. This teapot entered the kiln unglazed. The golden sheen comes from flame flashes, and what appears to be a glaze is vitrified fly ash from the kiln. This teapot has been heavily seasoned by the artist with tea, giving the pot a rich patina and sheen.
Usage and care: Hand-wash with water only.
Approximate dimensions: 70mm tall, 75mm diameter, 150ml capacity・Artist: 廖國華
