This piece is remarkable for its weight and lustrous color, which features red clay roasted black with charcoal. Upon close inspection, you can see a fine texture of lighter minerals embedded within the clay.

Kevin Lin, the maker of this piece, recommends using this pot with charcoal-roasted wulong cha and post-fermented teas.
