Teapot No. 02 — Smalto

Anchee’s Collection
Teapot No. 02 — Smalto

Defined by balance and restraint.

Built as the center of Serie Smalto, this teapot unites ornament and structure through controlled form and disciplined proportion. A rounded body and stable base create visual calm, allowing the botanical detailing to remain measured—never loud, never decorative for its own sake.
Gloss white glaze carries the hand-applied motifs with clarity, while deep green-glazed elements anchor the composition. Gold-accented rim and handle sharpen the silhouette with precision, adding definition without excess.
Fired above 1,350°C and held for 19 continuous hours, the ceramic body gains stability and surface cohesion—so color, glaze, and structure endure repeated daily use.

Precision sustains ornament.
