🧘 Cultural & Craft Legacy
岩陶之质 | The Texture of Stone
Old rock clay, rich in mineral deposits and iron content, is a material that speaks of geological time and elemental transformation. Its coarse texture and natural imperfections—pinholes, speckles, and fire marks—are not flaws but signatures of authenticity, formed in kilns exceeding 1000°C.
This teapot draws from the rustic traditions of East Asian folk pottery, where utility and spirit coexist. Its unglazed surface recalls the aesthetics of early tea vessels used in Song and Yuan dynasties, when simplicity and tactile resonance were prized over ornamentation.
器以载道 | A Vessel of Quiet Philosophy
The Shíhō teapot embodies the philosophy of “returning to the root”—a reverence for raw material, honest form, and the quiet dignity of everyday ritual. It invites the user to slow down, to feel the clay’s breath, and to let tea become a medium of stillness and connection.

Note:
–About the parcel:
If You Receive The Package Broken, Please Don’t Open Dispute and Leave Negative Feedback, Please Contact Us Firstly, We Will Deal With It, Don’t Worry !
–About the product:
The product may have certain differences from the photos due to ambient light, camera parameters, screen color, etc. Please refer to the physical object you receive.
The product size and capacity are manually measured, and there may be certain errors. It is for reference only. Since the batches of fired are different and accompanied by thermal expansion and contraction, please refer to the physical object received.
–About ceramics:
The porcelain you bought has black spots/pinholes because the raw materials contain iron and other minerals naturally formed after high temperature firing. The qualified products selected after quality inspection will not affect the use. However, if you remove the black spot pinholes, you must use chemical raw materials to remove them, which will greatly harm the good porcelain itself.
–About texture:
The textures formed by high-temperature daily tea utensils are naturally randomly formed in a kiln that passes through more than 1,000 degrees, and cannot be controlled or avoided. Although the nodes or textures naturally formed by bamboo and wood products during the growth of trees are avoided as much as possible during the processing process, they cannot be manually screened and removed. This situation is not a product defect.
The package contains: 1 x Teaware
