Woodfired Galaxy Teapot

The wood-fired galaxy teapot is  handmade by a skilled potter Wu in Jindezhen who has  thrown potteries for 27 years since his young apprenticeship. Looking through his wood-fired potteries , we are impressed by the uncommon appearance of his work of art which reflects fully his bumble personality and endless effort in extending the range of wood-fired possibilities . The galaxy teapot is made of gaoling clay which is originally mined in Jindezhen. Gaoling clay features the ability to withstand high temperature over 1500℃.

There are emerald-like and orange drips decorating the matte blue body so as to enrich the hue based on subtle colors.  The teapot has capacity to hold  150
