{"product_id":"ashfall-gaiwan","title":"Ashfall Gaiwan","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the beauties of Chinese tea lies in the small element of uncertainty that keeps curiosity alive. What weather will accompany the picking season? How will a tea evolve over years of aging? Every question opens the door to countless possibilities, creating an endless multiverse of experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood-fired ceramics bring this same sense of wonder into the world of teaware. Crafted in traditional wood kilns, where flame, ash, and minerals interact with the porcelain throughout the firing process, each piece develops unique surface effects: subtle ash glazing, natural color transitions, and organic textures that cannot be reproduced by modern electric or gas kilns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRen Pengfei’s work adds a further layer of individuality. A renowned specialist in wood-fired teaware, he shapes each piece entirely by hand with remarkable precision. While his mastery ensures harmony of form and function, no two pieces are ever exactly alike, each bearing the subtle variations of the artist’s hand before the kiln leaves its own unique mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece is available only once. We have photographed every individual item, and customers can choose the exact piece they want by selecting the corresponding number shown in the product photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer brewing with a teapot, be sure to explore the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nannuoshan.org\/collections\/teapots\/products\/ashfall-teapot?variant=53186941845771\"\u003eAshfall Teapot\u003c\/a\u003e from the same artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eWritten by Simone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the artist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRen Pengfei was born in Shandong in 1985 and graduated from Jingdezhen Ceramic University in 2009. He is a National Level-1 Ceramic Craft Technician—the highest vocational skills certification in China—and an official inheritor of Jingdezhen’s intangible cultural heritage tradition of wood-fired kiln firing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince graduating, Ren has dedicated himself entirely to wood-fired ceramics. He works independently through every stage of production, from clay preparation, wheel throwing, and trimming to firing and restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis pieces are defined by a distinctive personal style and a highly refined command of wood-firing. Ren built his own wood kiln, personally arranges each piece inside the kiln, and oversees the firing himself. His work is widely appreciated by ceramic professionals and collectors alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover more in this video!\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Ancient Tea Gardens in Laobahnzhang, Yunnan\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/wOCyjgfTdzY?si=OohgrUSYBMPXahKo\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kSl3tWDJZc0?si=1Mp7nKlGb29pnCjZ\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"by Ren Pengfei","offers":[{"title":"01","offer_id":53087940608267,"sku":"VM_PP1338","price":225.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"02","offer_id":53087940641035,"sku":"VM_PP1339","price":225.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"03","offer_id":53087940673803,"sku":"VM_PP1340","price":225.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"04","offer_id":53087940706571,"sku":"VM_PP1341","price":225.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"05","offer_id":53087940739339,"sku":"VM_PP1342","price":225.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9309\/files\/IMG_1070_large_nr.jpg?v=1777755594","url":"https:\/\/www.nannuoshan.org\/products\/ashfall-gaiwan","provider":"Nannuoshan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
