Yujian "Giant Wheel Pearl" Chaozhou Red Clay Tea Pot
煜坚 《巨轮珠》潮州朱泥壶
This teapot is a classic interpretation of the Chaozhou red clay Julunzhu (Giant Wheel Pearl) form. The body is round and full, gently drawn in at the top and generously weighted at the base. The lid sits flush with the rim; the straight spout delivers a clean, decisive pour; and the loop handle rests comfortably in the hand.
Hand-thrown from local red clay, the pot features thin yet dense walls that concentrate aroma and preserve resonance, with smooth, controlled water flow. Especially well suited for Dancong and other oolong teas, it stands as a signature vessel on the Chaoshan gongfu tea table—uniting practical performance with refined elegance.
Material: Red Clay from Chaozhou
Technique: Chaozhou red clay teapots are rooted in traditional wheel-throwing techniques. Using carefully selected local red clay, the material is first washed, aged, and thoroughly kneaded. The teapot is then hand-thrown on a rotating wheel, followed by trimming and assembling the spout and lid. After careful burnishing and slow air-drying, the piece is fired at high temperatures in the kiln.
The finished teapot is compact in form, with thin yet resilient walls—an iconic tea vessel designed for the precision and rhythm of Chaozhou gongfu tea.
