Stoneware・Ash・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.

Like a candied apple, the earthy, caramel-hued patina of this pot adds an extra layer of sweetness to this little round pot. A tiny spout peeks upwards, poised as though to express a modest curiosity. The shape of the teapot is reflected in the final, petite and perfectly round.

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.
