[清本源 x Gohobi Gallery] Red Glazed Teapot with Round Knob and Reclining Foot (210ml)

This red glazed teapot embodies a poetic philosophy of warmth, completeness, and quiet stability, bringing traditional symbolism into everyday tea practice.

Red glaze has long been associated with celebration, vitality, and flourishing fortune. In this teapot, the glaze appears rich and luminous, recalling the depth of cinnabar with a soft, creamy sheen that reflects light gently rather than loudly. Rooted in traditional red glaze firing techniques, the process follows classical ceramic logic from mineral selection and glaze preparation to precise kiln temperature and timing. The result is a surface that feels both spirited and refined, allowing the warmth of red glaze to re-emerge with contemporary clarity on the tea table.

The rounded knob echoes the ancient philosophy of “roundness,” symbolising harmony, completeness, and smooth passage through life. Its gentle curves offer a comfortable grip while quietly suggesting reunion, fulfilment, and things coming full circle. Beneath the body, the reclining foot grounds the teapot in a sense of calm assurance. Stable and composed when placed down, it reflects the wish for a steady foundation and an unhurried, settled life.

Together, the red glaze, round knob, and reclining foot form a unified expression of “prosperous warmth, harmonious completeness, and lasting stability.” Each time water is poured and tea is brewed, the gesture becomes a quiet offering of good wishes—transforming the act of tea making into a poetic reflection on a life well balanced.

The form itself is drawn from classical teapot aesthetics, with smooth, flowing lines that feel natural in the hand and visually calm on the table. It reflects the Gohobi and Qing Ben Yuan philosophy of tracing craft back to its origins while allowing traditional forms to speak naturally within modern daily life.
