Kusami
Kusami
Stoneware・Wood-fired
From Liao Guo Hua’s personal archive come sixteen masterful teapots that together chart the breadth and variation of two decades of atmospheric firings in the artist’s remote wood kiln.
This pot carries all the cheekiness and personality of a Kusami sculpture, from the jaunting spout, to its playful, ear-shaped handle. The dark, smooth clay body contrasts with an unexpected spray of vitrified ash, unique to its placement to the kiln’s wood box.
Unglazed, this piece will season slowly over time, though limited porosity allows use for various tea types. Oils from the tea will create a deepened color and luster with use. Signed by the artist.
Usage and care: This teapot is suit able for use with all tea types. Simply rinse between uses, or hand-wash without soap or detergent.
Approximate dimensions: 88mm tall, 75mm diameter, 190ml・Artist: 廖國華
