Yixing Teapots: Beyond Traditions






Curated by Xiaoping Luo & Junya Shao, the Clay Studio brings us Yixing Teapots. Luo and Shao are masters of this 1000 year old art form, and this is the second time the clay studio has exhibited Yixing Teapots. These pots are considered superior to other teapots due to the zisha clay used, which absorbs some of the tea flavor and "seasons" a pot, which produces better cups of tea each time used. The show runs through March 2nd at the Clay Studio.

I like the one that looks like a stump.

I wonder how much these would go for? I can't imagine someone spending hundreds of dollars on these things and then actually using them, ha.
