These two photos show a wood-fired Juan Shui, Xi Shi teapot and the Dragon Kiln in which it is fired. Dragon Kilns in China today are very rare, no more than two or three are still in use today but many a century or two ago they where much more common throughout China. Built on a hill and breathing fire from one end the resemblance to a dragon is obvious. Wood, charcoal, and bamboo are used as fuel and it often takes a day or more for the firing to be completed. The kilns are know for the exquisite textures and colors on the surface of the clay ware fired within their walls. And the Dragon Kilns are also known for the havoc wrought on the wares fired in them. Often as much of 25% or more of each firing is lost due to breakage caused by the high heat and chaos caused by the fuels unpredictable nature. On the positive side, those teapots and other wares that survive have unique markings and are unsurpassed in their tea brewing abilities. These treasures are highly sought after and command high prices with the most expensive examples having the highest degree of color and texture variation. #thehappyteaman #jianshui #dragonkiln #woodrired #unique #treasure #bamboo #wood #charcoal #experience #texture #variations #expensive (at Jianshui)
