兴华《苔影》盖碗
This gaiwan is formed through wheel-throwing and fired at 1300°C in a high-temperature reduction atmosphere. The clay body is created from reclaimed mixed clays — including porcelain and stoneware clay — gathered and reused through the artist’s ongoing practice of material preservation and reinvention.
Its muted green surface and softly varied texture emerge naturally through the firing process, carrying subtle tonal shifts that evoke weathered stone, moss, and quiet landscapes.
Created through years of tea practice and dialogue with tea drinkers, the artist continually explores the relationship between tea and teaware, seeking greater harmony between utility and experience. For him, practicality is only the beginning of a good vessel; beyond function lies the pursuit of atmosphere, simplicity, and enduring presence.
Rooted in a philosophy of restraint and quiet beauty, the gaiwan reflects a commitment to simplicity, humility, and the subtle depth that reveals itself slowly through daily use.
Firing: 1300°C high-temperature reduction firing
Material: Reclaimed mixed clay body (including porcelain and stoneware clay)
Technique: Wheel-thrown
