This elegant handmade pot blends simple modern lines to the classic designs of the golden age of dynastic times of China. It is the work of Da Bai, the eldest sibling of the Bai Mu Quan family and, you will have guessed, the older brother of Xiao Bai that we feature extensively on Taiwan Tea Crafts. We are happy to finally give him more space on our site through the release of many items that were produced during the pandemic. There’s definitely a family style that is recognizable between the 2 brothers as well as a high level of precision in their craftsmanship which is simply stunning. Da Bai’s use of different textures and tonal experimentations in his glazings are both appropriate to the shape of the piece and gives an added texture in the tone of the finish. This being said, this pot marks a departure from the elaborate glazings he expertly crafts and plays more with different geometrical shapes. This hexagonal-shaped body was achieved by shaping an initially round pot into this final form using hand tools. What is particularly appealing in the gentle blend of rounded lines with flattened surfaces resulting in a very harmonious modern shape. The wall thickness is thin and even all throughout the body and lid. The pot features s short spout with a bit more generous flow than other Da Bai pots. A full capacity pour out of 240 ml of water was timed at about 16 seconds. The shaped lid features a tapered peg-shaped knob that is bother beautiful and easy to handle. The lid fits snuggly into its recessed area. Everything inspires perfection apart from a barely perceptible angle deformation of the handle that occurred during firing, making the pot even more unique… and very wabi-sabi. The finish of the pot is left bare inside and out leaving the very fine grit of the yellow clay used (with a touch of porcelain added in for density) show its smooth and even texture all throughout. This pot is truly a one of a kind as Da Bai admired not wishing to produce more similarly shaped pots as it requires a lot of time to do well. This more than unique item is signed by the artist and proudly handcrafted in Taiwan.
