煜坚 《折肩梨式》潮州朱泥壶
This Zhejian Pear-shaped Teapot is an elegant reinterpretation of the classic pear form. It retains the pear teapot’s rounded, full-bodied foundation, while a crisp folded shoulder introduces a sense of structure and layered rhythm. The lines expand and contract with restraint, preserving the pear form’s aroma-gathering qualities while adding a cleaner, more decisive character.
Hand-thrown from Chaozhou red clay, the body is fine-grained and warm in texture, with a brisk, controlled pour. Balancing classical resonance with a fresh, contemporary edge, it is a refined vessel for the gongfu tea table—where tradition and clarity meet.
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.
