Meizi 美子, Tainan, Taiwan
Meizi first fell in love with art, then she met tea. Her real joy is in making teaware with forms and textures that are creative and artistic, and developed the functionality of teaware over time as she accumulated tea-brewing experience.
With her playful, bold and meticulous style, she hopes to revitalize the traditional image of teaware. Her cheerful interpretation of traditional tea caddies for tea ceremony use is distinctive in the use of matt colours with bright gold lid, made with real gold mixed into the clay slip!
These caddies are not air tight. It is more suitable for tea ceremony or performance purpose, or if one is intending to age a small portion of tea leaves in a small tea jar.
