This beautiful stoneware urn is the work of Bai Zong-Ping. It is one of two urns we picked-up from his studio a few years back that came out of a small body of work that featured a crab as the main decorative element. Each piece was unique in shape or size and we simply couldn’t leave the chosen two behind. The other bigger gilded piece is available here. This particular one features the crab prominently as he sits on top of the lid as if on a mound on the ocean floor. This little scene underlies the playful nature of the artist creativity. despite being a gifted graphic artist and sculptor, his canvases remain ceramic objects he crafts in the pure tradition of instilling beauty to useful objects. This urn was hand-thrown by him from porcelain enriched clay before he executed his finishes. The body proposes a thick 5 mm wall with a tight fitting lid. The outer surfaces are highly textured with sinuous hachure patterns and horizontal lines along the main body. The urn was the wood-fired which has left the piece with an array of reddish to charcoal colours. The wood-firing also helped to highlight the textured body and the crab by leaving the ridges and edges lighter coloured. Its 300 ml capacity can accommodate approximately 200 g of rolled oolong. Needless to say, this item is unique, never been used, signed by the artist, and proudly handcrafted in Taiwan.
