Description

This pitcher is made using unglazed, Jianshui zitao purple clay. Although it’s called purple clay, zitao is actually considered a 5 colour clay, consisting of purple, red, white, yellow and green/cyan.

This gongdaobei was wood fired for several days. The results of wood firing teaware is dependent on many factors, including clay composition, firing duration, location and placement in the kiln, shape of the kiln, type/composition of wood being burned, etc., but each comes out reflecting various degrees of kiln changes (窑变) that can never be fully replicated.

This pitcher holds approximately 320ml of liquid.
