Her Simple Teapot
Her Simple Teapot
Glazed porcelain・Hand-thrown
There’s a softness and simplicity to this teapot, thrown on the potter’s wheel by Wang Qiu Xue. Gentle curves abound, mirrored in the shapes and gestures of the handle, spout, body, and delicate finial atop the lid. It’s a vessel of subtleties, from materiality to form.
The exterior is covered in a translucent glaze, and inside you’ll find a series of small holes that serve as a natural filter when pouring. The absence of color serves to highlight the expressions of steeping leaves, from the bright amber of Wild Tree Yunnan Red to the electric green of Lishan Winter Sprout, tea becomes the star.
From a small series of pots by a husband and wife pottery studio near in Miaoli, Taiwan. While the collective work of this couple has distinct through lines, there are nonetheless small subtleties that speak to each of the artist’s unique hand.
