Glazed stoneware・5-Day Wood-fired

Bold strokes of cobalt wash move across a field of soft white glaze, like hints of blue sky breaking through clouds. In Liao Guo Hua’s latest series, color and contrast pay homage to the changing seasons; spring’s tenacious arrival after the grey days of winter.

Each of Liao Guo Hua’s pieces are exceptionally tactile, inviting the hand to settle naturally into the strokes and curves of the form. By no means quotidian, these are nonetheless pots for routine, daily use. We find ourselves reaching for the artist's work, again and again, imbuing a sense of grace and beauty into our daily tea drinking experience.

About Tea Bowls

In Taiwan, tea bowls are often used to drink loose leaf tea. It's quite simple and works wonders on most of our teas.

Simply warm a tea bowl, add tea leaves, and add water. We suggest using 1 to 2 grams less tea than our normal recommended dosage. Fill the bowl 2/3 of the way to the top. Pour a steady stream of water over the leaves to help them settle to the bottom. Steep until leaves have just opened. Sip, and add more water if necessary.

Usage and care: Hand-wash only, without soap or detergent.

Approximate dimensions: 75mm tall, 118mm diameter, 310ml・Artist: 廖國華
