Beautiful! I temember reading about The Pottery Wars. I can only imagine the craftsmanship of ancient Korea to cause another country like Japan, raid Korean villages of their potters to take them back to Japan and make them do their pottery. It had to of been spectacular works of art. To this day, there are still artisans from other places who go to Korea to find the ancient pottery sites so they can glean the pottery shards of the trash piles of the pottery that was busted from defects or had cracked. I remember when they were looking for clues on Celadon to see if it could be reproduced some how. Very, very interesting stuff.
The Chinese teamaster's comment about the Korean teapot was that the pouring of the tea stops abruptly, in contrast to modern Chinese designs, where the pots drip slightly even after you finish pouring, and the pouring of the tea does not stop abruptly. This is true. Many modern teapot designs in China try too hard to look nice without being utilitarian. You can see at 8:33, the pouring of the tea stops quite sharply and abruptly, so there are no drips, and the perfect amount is poured. Song Gi-jin is certainly a master.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL workmanship. Thank you for this valuable history lesson and thank you for showing the love and respect that go into making these beautiful treasures.
At 12:45 this is just a disservice & an insult to this true potter that you can't use a spokesperson that knows what they're talking about, especially since he's telling his deep thoughts of each piece he makes!!! Is this a computer talking? Baking pottery? This isn't a cake takes 20 minutes! It's firing the pieces not baking your 350 degs cake!
Like children Tea Party. Very special ❤
