Stoneware・Copper・Wood-fired

Taiwanese artist Liao Guo Hua’s mastery of his craft yields pots rich with personality. Smooth, clean throw lines draw his pots up or out, signifying stateliness or gravity, respectively, and each meticulous tilt of handle or spout adds to the individual narrative of the piece.

The rough, cratered surface of the clay body creates a stark contrast against the copper wire, smoothly twisted through the lid. And while the textures stand firmly in contrast, the warm metal mirrors the bright orange of the fire licked flashing slip around the base. A gently curved spout looks astutely forward, poised to pour the perfect cup of tea.

Usage and care: Unglazed wood-fired pieces will season very slowly over time, though limited porosity allows for use of different tea types. The exterior of the teapot will deepen in color and develop a rich luster with use. Hand-wash only, without soap or detergent.

Approximate dimensions: 80mm tall, 75mm diameter, 190ml・Artist: 廖國華
