Wabi-Sabi Elegance Pot Support

These two round Pot Supports (Hucheng) are exemplary pieces of Tuo Tai lacquerware, meticulously designed and crafted by Kevin. These supports embody the unique aesthetics of lacquer art and the Wabi-sabi style. The distinctive feature of Tuo Tai lacquerware lies in its creation, where the lacquer does not adhere to wood or metal but is crafted directly using natural materials. The supports are made from a combination of lacquer, xia cloth, tile ash, gold foil, coffee grounds, and paper, with each piece showcasing intricate design and a deep commitment to environmental sustainability.

One of the Pot Supports is crafted with layers of paper on the surface, finished with a clear lacquer coating that retains the texture of the paper while adding a warm, polished feel. The other Pot Support creatively blends gold powder and coffee grounds, offering a striking contrast between smooth and rough textures. This unique aesthetic not only enhances its beauty but also highlights the importance of environmental consciousness by repurposing coffee grounds.

Lacquer, also known as edible natural lacquer, is derived from the sap of lacquer trees, making it a completely green and eco-friendly product. These Pot Supports are not just functional teaware but also artistic pieces that can illuminate your tea space or home decor, bringing a touch of natural elegance and joy to your life.
