Description: Fired using the traditional Chai Shao (wood-firing) technique
Introduction The Chai Shao Small Golden Gourd Yixing Teapot is a unique and expertly crafted piece that showcases the ancient and challenging art of Chai Shao or wood-firing, a method that is distinct from traditional electric or gas kiln firing. This 120ML teapot is crafted from Original Ore High-Temperature Duan Ni, a clay known for its durability, fine texture, and ability to retain heat, making it ideal for brewing concentrated teas.
The teapot is designed in the shape of a golden gourd, a symbol of prosperity and good fortune in Chinese culture. Its smooth, rounded form and small size make it perfect for personal tea sessions. The Chai Shao firing process imparts unique, natural color variations and textures to the teapot, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects the rich tradition of Chinese ceramic artistry.
The Chai Shao technique, with its reliance on wood as the heat source, is highly challenging and requires skill and precision. The result is a teapot that not only serves as a functional tea-brewing vessel but also as a work of art that embodies centuries of craftsmanship. This teapot's unique finish and the history behind its creation make it a perfect addition to any Yixing teapot collection or as a gift for a tea connoisseur.
