Wu Yong Jun
Born to a grass-root family in Yixing that had been doing supportive jobs for the clay industry in the mid 70’s towards the end of Cultural Revolution, Wu Yong Jun witnessed the rapid growth of the economy and saw the encouraging recovery of the teapot trade. An introvert and lacking better connections compared to some of his counterparts, he did not even have the chance to go to any of the local art and technical colleges. The young man began by running errands for different workshops and studios, and practicing the craft late into the nights.
The tiny bit of economic freedom for selling his works has allowed the young Wu to begin using better clay for upgrading his work’s material quality, while his diligence and attentiveness to details allowed him more supportive tasks to work closer to more established artisans and clay ore workshops. In the 2010’s he began submitting works to local and national exhibitions and competitions, and, surprisingly won enough recognition for him to later submit for national qualification evaluation.
Wu’s story is a refreshing and an hopeful sparkle in a depressing culture where guanxi (relationship) is paramount for success, a middle age nobody who lacks the background or the appearance appeal can climb up the social ladder with shear hard work and diligence.
We are happy to present a few pieces of Wu’s recent works at the very affordable price he is known for.
This Buddha Belly was produced concurrently using a very similar blend of zhu-ni as that used in another work, a small size reinterpreted version of Shi Piao, Little Pearl Ladle, by the same artist.
Packing: Tea towel pull bag in collector’s case
All Yixing teapots at Tea Hong are delivered with a pull-string towel sack in a collector box with cushions inside.
Note:
Unless otherwise stated, all Yixing teapots are new from the kiln. Please properly clean and prepare them before making tea in them. There is a proper procedure to do that. It is described at:
Yixing Teapots, An Introduction | Tea Guardian
We try our best to represent the colours of all tea accessories, including Yixing teapots in the product photographs. However, there are many factors that we cannot control, including those that affect how the photos are rendered in your computer or mobile device. There maybe interpreted discrepancies between the colour as seen on this site and that of the product you receive.
Please also note that since all our Yixing teapots are handmade, in the situation when there are more than one copy available for an item, small details, such as the capacity, a particular curve, or certain detail proportions, etc may have slight variation.

Gaiwans, TeawareProfessional tea tasting with style
Although this is a gaiwan developed with the requirements for standard tea tasting, at 150ml ISO capacity at below the lid cover, we have it made with all the proper ergonomic requirements, and in a great looking design. Produced in fine kaolin porcelain and gorgeously finished with a glossy overglaze. A great tool for the professional, the real connoisseur or the novice drinker.
Each unit contains one gaiwan bowl with a lid. Choice of three colours.
