Handcrafted Beam-Raising Teapot by Jiang Zao

About Artwork

Forged through time-honored metalworking techniques, this teapot reflects the artistry of tradition and the elegance of minimal design. Its rounded body embodies the softened warmth of time, while the straight beam handle asserts strength and precision, a balance of softness and structure that lies at the heart of classical aesthetics.

Every visible hammer mark is an intentional trace of craftsmanship, like subtle imprints of time, endowing the vessel with both authenticity and character. The interplay of copper and brass yields a refined contrast—unadorned yet opulent, modern yet deeply rooted in heritage.

More than a vessel for tea, this 150ml teapot is a statement of cultural philosophy and artistry, where simplicity of form conceals layers of meaning. Holding it is not only to experience fine tea, but also to touch the seamless union of tradition, design, and enduring craftsmanship.
