I LOVE this pot with its subtle flower design and classic shape.
The five colors of Jian Shui clay have been skillfully mixed by the artist to create the subtle shades of pinks, yellows, and greens. Each flower petal is outlined in a border of black clay - wonderfully subtle. Seeing beautiful pieces of art like this is why I love to explore the Ancient Tea Horse Road.
The hand-carved characters on the reverse side are an old Chinese idiom that reflects the thought "a gentleman with a pleasant demeanor will have a good fortune." That is a good thought to ponder while sipping your Pu'er tea freshly brewed in this beautiful Jian Shui teapot.
I have personally touched and photographed this exact pot and every other piece that is in this Jian Shui Collection. Each teapot is unique, one-of-a-kind, and I don't think that this one will last long on the market.

Each Jian Shui teapot offered by Tea Horse Treasures has been hand selected, in person, by me traveling to Jian Shui on The Ancient Tea Horse Road. Jian Shui is a town located in southern Yunnan Province, about 100 miles north of the border with Vietnam and Laos. This 1,200-year-old town has been making wood-fired clay pottery for hundreds of years and has more recently focused the skills of its artisans from cookware to teaware. Jian Shui is the most beautiful teaware made in China today!
The raw materials and methods of crafting this exquisite teaware are unique to Jian Shui. The five colors of clay, only available in this area, contain no sand. The extraordinarily fine composition of the clay allows it to be hand polished to a beautiful sheen without any glazing. Read more about how this exceptional and unique teaware is made using the eight steps in the centuries-old traditional methods in the "Cultural Insights" newsletter here. Jian Shui Cultural Insights
The intricate designs are not painted on the teapots but are made by hand carving the design into the soft clay. Then the artist, using one or more of the five colors of clay, embeds the colored clay into the recesses of the carved design and then works to smooth it out by hand. After firing, the teapot is hand polished to a subtle or high gloss sheen and is ready to be enjoyed, brewing the famous Pu'er Tea that is also from this area.
This area of Yunnan Province is the home of the first teas in the world, the wonderful Pu'er tea and the starting place for the great adventures that transported the tea through the Himalaya mountains to Lhasa in Tibet to trade for horses.
This pot features a flower design using subtle shades of pink, yellow and green. The colors come from the artist mixing several of the five Jian Shui clay colors on an artists pallet and then embedding the soft mixture into the hand-carved design. It will take four or five iterations of this process to achieve this result.
- You will receive a picture of this exact piece being package by one of the beautiful Jian Shui woman working in our selected shop.
