The piece is shaped like a spotted bamboo, capturing its spirit through form. It is both bamboo and emotion. As bamboo, the knob, spout, and handle are each paired with a slender, curved bamboo segment, unified in style yet each possessing its own unique charm. The bamboo leaves at the joints blend seamlessly into the body of the pot. The body is decorated with clay-painted patterns, with purplish-red spots leaping across the cold-pressed golden clay. As emotion, the knob resembles the hair of a beautiful woman bowing her head slightly in sorrow, the spout like a jade arm gently wiping away tears, the handle's gentle curve supporting the woman's slender waist, and the body like the hem of her skirt stained with tears—delicate and moving, evoking pity in all who behold it.
Xiangfei bamboo, also known as spotted bamboo, is a creature of natural beauty, celebrated for the love story of Emperor Shun and his two Xiangfei consorts. A thousand years have passed since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, yet the Xiangfei bamboo along the shores of Dongting Lake still tells the tale of that ancient hero and love.
The author uses cold, golden clay buried in the earth's strata for hundreds of millions of years as an artistic language, perfectly interpreting the elegance of the spotted bamboo branches and the unwavering love that transcends life and death through the combination of form, color, and meaning.
It can truly be said that the teapot conveys emotions, and is incredibly lifelike. .

Shaoyun
Clay: Duan clay
Volume: 230ml
Author: Chen Kai

Elegant and refined, with a graceful and unrestrained style. The spout is curved in three directions, shaped like a bamboo joint, with a bamboo segment forming the handle. A twisted bamboo joint is sculpted at the top to form the knob. The curvature of the bamboo joint is harmonious and appropriate. The clay is thin and fine, with patterns that are both dense and sparse. Every detail is exquisite, appearing as if naturally formed, full of life and charm.
