A rare and thoughtful pairing for lovers of quiet rituals and soulful objects. This curated set brings together two Yixing zisha clay pieces—each made independently, likely by different artisans and possibly from different periods. While their origins don’t match, their energy does.
The teapot features a sculptural silhouette and a stamped artist’s seal on its base—its bold, minimalist form invites quiet contemplation. The companion piece, a hand-etched tribute cup referencing the work of Qing Dynasty scholar Chen Mansheng, adds poetic depth and calligraphic grace.
Together, they form an uncommon duet—brought together not by provenance, but by intention. A harmonious contrast. A quiet moment made visual.
