Zhang Zefeng, a young artist who is the 5th generation in the family for making traditional hand thrown Chaozhou Red Clay teapot. After finishing the university in Art, Zhang Zefeng went back home and followed his father's step and learning the traditional skill of making traditional Chaozhou teapot.  As a young artist, he has not only been making traditional style of teapots, but also adds his new ideas to the design.  

This teapot is named after its colour, the orange/red is similar to the colour in the sky during the sunrise. The pot is made with a mix of two clay with different colours that is done intentionally to create a kind of swirled effect. Two clays were carefully placed together and then bit up many times until both clays are sticked together as one piece. The mixed clay would have to carefully handled for keeping the swirled patten. 

Only one teapot in stock.
