Su Mingzhi 蘇铭智 is a young but very talented teapot maker from Chaozhou. He is specialised in ultra-thin Egg-Yolk-Clay teapots and classical shapes. I fell in love with his work on my last trip in Chaozhou and am very happy to offer a small selection of his models here.
(Guangdong, China )
Chaozhou is renowned for its fine, unglazed teapots made from local clay, deeply tied to the region’s Gongfu tea tradition. These teapots, often small and meticulously crafted, are prized for their ability to enhance tea flavors through gradual seasoning. The clay, rich in iron, retains heat exceptionally well, making it ideal for brewing aromatic oolong teas. With a history spanning centuries, Chaozhou teapots are cherished for their elegant simplicity, functional precision, and their role in the refined art of tea preparation.
Our gallery, studio, and tea space are a hub for experiencing and sharing the art of ceramics and tea.
Similar to the concept of “Utsuwa-galleries” in Japan, we are holding monthly exhibitions of unique ceramicists from Japan, China and Europe.
We also regularly host Workshops and Tea Experiences.
Wonderful tea, i do recommend., drinking it while writing this
The prettiest gaiwan I could think of!The porcelain feels surreal: it has that ivory transparence and the shape is very delicate. I adore it!
The teapot is very elegant and precisely made. Pour is crystal smooth and very satisfying. The lid holds by itself while pouring which is great with a side handle. Only downsides : the artist's seal is so small it's almost unreadable if you don't know what it is, and the lid isn't completely water sealed.
Great overall
