Jianshui – Hammered Earth
Handmade in Jianshui · Unglazed by choice · Worldwide delivery
Featuring a hand-hammered texture, this Jianshui Zitao teapot evokes the look of forged metal or weathered stone. Crafted from natural unglazed clay, it offers both visual depth and practical performance for everyday tea rituals.
Unglazed purple pottery crafted in Yunnan from local mineral-rich clay.
Hammered Earth
Clay remembers the hand.
Hammered Earth begins with a small, rounded Jianshui tea vessel and a hand-worked surface that keeps the making visible. The unglazed clay carries warmth; the hammered relief gives the hand a reason to linger.

A vessel of good wishes
A rhythm made by pressure.
Each strike changes the clay slightly. Together the marks become a slow rhythm across the body, carrying the directness of the workshop into a quiet tea table.
The surface is expressive, but the intention remains simple: a small, comfortable pot that makes the act of pouring feel deliberate.
Earth made tactile
Texture before ornament.
Tea before display.

Read the making
Three views, three clues: the silhouette, the surface language, and the gesture of pouring.
Choosing the vessel
Made for considered use.
Dimensions & capacity
Packaging dimensions and weight are shown in the product information above. Handmade measurements may vary slightly.
Tea pairing
Use it for a focused session with teas that reward small pours. The unglazed surface will gain character with regular use.
Care
Rinse with clean water and air-dry fully. Do not use dishwashers, detergent, abrasive cloths, or expose the pot to sudden temperature shifts.
Handmade variation
Each mark is hand-made, so no two vessels have identical relief, tone, or polishing traces.
Shipping & protection
The pot is packed with protective inner support and a rigid outer carton. Shipping service, duties, and taxes are calculated for the destination at checkout.
