SIMPLE, MINIMAL DESIGN - The artist says, "The most difficult thing is to create a smooth teapot without patterns."

Over time, the surface gradually becomes smoother and more lustrous. These teapots are extremely light, and their handling is excellent.

EINFACHES, MINIMALES DESIGN - "Das Schwierigste ist, eine glatte Teekanne ohne Muster herzustellen", sagt der Künstler.

 

Die Schönheit des Gestaltung ist ein Beweis für die Kunstfähigkeiten der Meister, die ihren Lebensunterhalt mit der Töpferscheibe verdienen.

 

Mit der Zeit wird die Oberfläche immer glatter und glänzender. Diese Teekannen sind extrem leicht und lassen sich hervorragend handhaben.
