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.

The person behind UNEARTHED
For over 15 years I have been collecting ceramics and drinking tea very seriously, and now I am sharing that experience with you. I choose every maker myself and I taste every tea before it goes into the shop, and I travel to Japan and China to meet the people who make what we sell.
On Tuesdays and Fridays I pack your parcel myself.
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, and we supply cafés and shops with matcha and equipment at wholesale prices.
Wunderbare Kyusus aus Porzellan - sehr rasche Lieferung und Abwicklung. Sehr gerne wieder!
After using this kyusu for a few weeks I can confirm that it is not only beautiful but also extremely easy to use and clean. One of my favorite teapot for sure.
