Yellow gong fu teapot
This pot came out of the gas soda kiln at Club Mud, a group studio in Eugene, Oregon.
The glaze is made from granite and dolomite that I collected and crushed up.
It is a jolly little teapot! Full disclosure: it kissed another pot in the firing so the handle has a little scar from this experience. I sanded it down and it does not affect the functionality of it at all. It is a mark from its firing experience. This is why I have priced it down a but though. It would normally be $225.
More info… it is a small teapot designed for gong fu tea brewing. This is the Chinese practice where you use a relatively large amount of tea leaves and brew for short periods (30 seconds to 1 minute, typically). YouTube can educate you more fully on this. Brewing this way definitely gets the best flavor out of your tea leaves.
I could go on all day about tea, but I’ll spare you. I’ll just tell you about the clay and firing that made this pot.
This teapot has a built-in strainer, making it perfect for brewing loose leaf tea. It is unglazed on the interior to allow for tea tannins to build a patina there. They season in a similar way to your cast iron pan. No special care is needed. Just rinse with boiling water… never use soap!

Dimensions: Approximately 3” tall x 4.5” wide
This pot holds 180ml when full.

My pots are microwave, dishwasher and oven safe. I make them with stoneware clay and fire until they’re vitrified, around 2350°F.
I ship with USPS and UPS and send tracking information after sending each order.
I ship internationally; it’s no problem, but it may require a little extra postage. It’s hard to estimate as it changes from country to country. For these international orders, I will contact you if there is a discrepancy between what you pay and the actual cost.
