“Run Hong” Magnolia Blossom Yixing Teapot

🌺 The Temperature of Cinnabar and Life’s First Bloom

Red, in Chinese culture, is the backdrop for warmth, joy, and vitality. This teapot, crafted from a warm red clay reminiscent of Da Hong Pao, presents a soft, velvety matte texture that is restrained yet exudes a gentle, pervasive warmth.

The 150cc pear-shaped structure is delicate and elegant, perfectly fitting the palm’s curve. Its poetry is hidden in its surface decoration.

On the left, a magnolia branch relief gracefully extends from the base towards the lid. Magnolia symbolizes purity, nobility, and the life force of spring. The artisan precisely captured the softness of the petals and the resilience of the branch, achieving an artistic transposition from 3D to 2D on the purple clay. The right side is accented with gold calligraphy, adding an air of scholarly refinement.

To the touch, this pot is like feeling a life form just awakening. Its presence is a declaration of pure beauty—it possesses both the grounded stability of earth and the gentle strength of a blossoming flower.
