These pieces were fired in oxidation three times – first bisque to 940 degrees Celcius, then glaze-fired to 1245 degrees Celcius, then finally fired to 717 degrees to fuse the cherry blossom decals. The flower decoration is completely fixed on the glaze and will not come off in use.

This set consists of an unglazed, smooth iron-rich teapot 110ml. The pot is delightfully thinwalled and light at 82 grs. It pours fast and non-turbulent. Though taste may vary, this unglazed, reduction-fired clay has been appreciated for various oxidised teas (liubao, hongcha, pu’er shou). The teaboat measures 16,5 x 4,5 cm. The glaze is a so-called fake ash rivulet type, runny – glossy where thick, matte where thin.
Pale blue celadon glaze, achieved though heavy reduction in gas kiln. The blue is actually an optic illusion: it is the light travelling though the mass of bubbles suspended in the glaze that cause the piece to appear blue. That also explains why celadon and iron blues look so different in different light. The kyusu is made in porcelain. It has a smooth, precise pour.
Teadust is a glaze in the tenmoku (iron-saturated) family. With the addition of talc, magnesium or dolomite to a tenmoku recipe, the micro-crystals may start to form on the glaze surface – although it is easier said than done, as this glaze is sensitive to firing conditions. When it works, it is sweet. Porcellaneous clay, glazed inside out.

There are two sets available. One set consists of: a) one reduction fired gaiwan in high-iron, medium porous clay (appr. 3% porosity), and b) one lighter coloured reduction-fired, non-porous stoneware clay. Lid to body fit is perfect. While I don’t have consistent feedback for these two clays, they both reportedly have their qualities (for oxidised teas such as roasted wulongs, liubao, hongcha and pu’ers), and in side by side comparison you may find a space opens for some interesting tea moments. Tea lovers who use clay know that clay needs time; don’t expect instant results and don’t expect Yixing standard! These clays are greedy, they will steal flavour right until the moment they start to aid flavour.
