Zhègū Tíliáng Hú
Where heartbreak and clay meet in perfect form.
Created by the legendary master Gu Jingzhou during one of the most emotionally charged moments of his life, the Zhègū Tíliáng Hú features a gracefully arched overhead handle that rises above the pot like a bridge — both elegant and deeply personal. The name evokes the zhègū, a partridge bird, hinting at the poetic spirit Gu wove into his craft even in times of grief. It's a rare original design that makes collectors stop in their tracks.
Gu Jingzhou designed this teapot in 1983 while staying in Shanghai to care for his terminally ill wife — making it one of the most emotionally significant pieces of his entire career, and one of only a handful of truly original designs he created in his lifetime.
