Clay: aged Zini, Huanglongshan 黄龙山原矿老紫泥 Potter: half handmade by Fan Jiayi 范陽，半手工 Spout interior: handmade seven-holed concave filter Capacity: 130ml Weight: 87g The ‘Wu Chen’ has been crafted according to the ‘half-hand’ (半手工) tradition, where the body of the pot is shaped in a gypsum case, while the handle, spout, lid and holes are shaped and fixed entirely by hand. The wood firing process has created vibrant patterns on the surface, giving a prismatic effect when catching the light, shining a subtle gold particularly in natural light. Engravings on the teapot were carefully done by the artist Zhonglin 仲林: 用之大吉 (“Good fortune with use”) 爲有馀酲在，還牽睡思繁。汲泉敲石火，先試小龍團。(a quote from an old Ming dynasty poem about tea) Find out more about Yaoyao and Sixian (四閑齋): Instagram: sixian_tea
