Glazed stoneware・Wood-fired・250ml

Ceramicist Liao Guo Hua works with a range of different clay bases and glazes, using long, five-day firings in wood kilns to draw out the uniqueness of each piece. This is one in a series of six pieces we commissioned in 2018 from Liao Guo Hua. This series features iron oxide flecks added to the clay body that provides textural and visual interest. Each piece is then wood-fired for 5 days.

This larger scale teapot has an exterior glaze reminiscent of oxidized and aged copper. The interior glaze is linen toned, with contrasting flecks of iron oxide expressing through the glaze. A simple spout, with 7 outlets for water evacuation.

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

Approximate dimensions: 85mm tall, 85mm diameter, 250ml・Artist: 廖國華
