煜坚 《圆满》潮州朱泥壶
This red clay Shuiping Teapot, named “Fulfillment,” is a gentle homage to the classic forms of Chaoshan gongfu tea. The body is full and rounded, with lines flowing seamlessly in one continuous gesture, revealing the soft, mellow character of traditional red clay. The short, straight spout is clean and precise, delivering a brisk pour with a sharp cut-off.
Through its minimalist form, the teapot returns to the essence of gongfu tea—a vessel shaped for use—while subtly echoing the auspicious meaning of its name, Fulfillment. Quiet and dependable, it is a low-key yet trustworthy presence on the tea table.
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.
