This gongdao bei is handmade by Xiwu Studio, designed with a striking surface. Crafted using a combination of hand and knife carving, the surface was then partially glazed, the warm look of the exposed clay revealing to us the extremely high firing temperature that it has endured while in the kiln. The deliberate cracking on the surface will absorb the colour of tea, and over time you will see a slow change take place as you use it to brew your tea.

The lip has been crafted so that it pours cleanly and won't drip when drawing back, while the size and shape is robust and will stand true on the tea table.
