Qiu Qing Yun relies solely on his knowledge of clay and mastery of wood-firing to craft each piece: no glaze is ever used. He throws and shapes each teapot by hand, then air-dries them before firing. Instead of bisque firing, the air-dried pieces enter the wood-kiln directly. Using only wood for fuel, the kiln’s temperature is gradually increased over a 12 hour period until it reaches 1280C. That temperature is held for 5 days before it is gradually reduced over the course of a week. Each step is crucial in creating the finished product. While actual firing is 5 days, each piece spends nearly two weeks in the kiln.

This particular teapot has an even glazing of wood fly ash, giving the surfaces a satiny sheen. The teapot is also seasoned by the ceramicist, giving the exterior surfaces a rich patina with a subtle red tone, and the interior a beautiful iridescence. The spout features a small throat and ten outlets that facilitate water evacuation. The teapot’s base is signed and dated by the artist.

Usage and care: Unglazed wood-fired pieces will season very slowly over time, though limited porosity allows for use of different tea types. Exterior of the teapot will deepen in color and develop a rich luster as it patinas. Hand-wash only without soap or detergent.
