Fang Mei Xu began her apprenticeship with the renowned National Arts artist, Jie Ping Lu, in 1996. Her minimalist style conveys emotions through subtle changes in texture and pattern, which have become her signature. In 2017, she was named the most popular young potter on the Global Chamber of Commerce Network.
Yuan Kuang Hei Liao is a unique type of Zisha clay, prized for its deep black or dark brown color after firing. Sourced from deep mineral layers in Huanglong Mountain and Taixi Mine in Yixing, it is a natural, unblended ore—not artificially dyed.
There is an artistic and functional standard for evaluating Yixing teapots, which refines the tea-making process based solely on appearance. After considering the quality of the material, a balance exists between beauty and function. As tea lovers, our propensity is for shape and style, which enhances the flavor of tea. These classic, refined shapes provide a perfect canvas for creating a deep luster and patina over time.
