Gong fu, or dry-style tea preparation, is an integral component of the Song Tea service, orchestrated with the smallest brewing vessels. The scale of these teapots allows for highly concentrated brews, highlighting the epitomes of flavor and character through each successive steep. These are pots designed for ritual, intended to be filled again and again with near-boiling water and decanted, shared, and savored.

Zhang Hao Yan’s tiny teapots are perfectly proportioned for this style of tea making. Deftly thrown from stoneware clay, this pot features precise, dignified proportions, nearly architectural in their symmetry and form. Natural elements in the glaze, like copper and rutile, mark the surface with texture that keep the eye in motion.

Zhang Hao Yan’s teapots are one of a kind.
