Story

 

The beauty of this teapot reveals itself once you lift it. 

Its rounded body carries a reassuring weight, while the gentle curve between handle and spout makes each pour feel calm and unhurried. Nothing asks for attention, yet every line seems to belong exactly where it is. 

It is a teapot that feels happiest with company around the table.

 

Part of the Garden series, with the maturing copper-green glazing experiment, the image begins to follow a set trajectory and takes on a more realistic sense of life.

Care

Jingdezhen porcelain doesn't absorb water. It resists acid and bacteria by nature, fired hard enough to be nonporous.
A knock against a hard surface can crack it. Handle it the way you'd handle anything you cherish.
Wash by hand. Avoid steel wool or anything abrasive - it will scratch the glaze.
Meet the maker

Rather than treating decoration as ornament, Li Zhen paints with glaze. Soft greens, earthy browns, flowing brushstrokes and restrained forms evoke mountains, streams, gardens and changing seasons. Each vessel feels less like an object depicting nature than a quiet landscape held in the hand.
