This beautiful wood-fired urn came out of a firing performed in during the pandemic along with several other items proposing the same golden and bronze hues that make it so attractive. This item is the work of Mr. Zhang, a young potter who studied under Bai Zong-Ping and spent many years at Lin’s Ceramics. He now runs his own studio and is off to a promising career. Simple shapes and lines are the expected from M. Zhang but sometimes he is able to surprise us with a tangent like in this case. As soon as we saw the piece we uttered wabi-sabi. M. Zheng’s eyes lit up at the surprise that we immediately understood the concept behind the gesture of purposely defacing an otherwise perfect object. A long exchange on Asian aesthetics where imperfection is not considered an antithesis to beauty but more a fondamental element in balanced aesthetics. Initially, this urn was not meant to be sold but Mr. Zhang was reassured that we could find an appreciative home for his treasured urn. As with all of Mr. Zhang’s work the execution is flawless: the seat and seal of the lid is flawless helping to keep up to approximately 500 g of rolled oolong. Finally, the shades of this urn are the result of the high temperatures achieved during the firing process with a beautiful wave-like pattern of golden and copper hues with a uniform lustrous sheen. These aesthetic characteristics are purely accidental and the result of elements fusing during the firing process. Needless to say, this item is unique. What you see in the pictures is what you will get. Handmade in Taiwan.
