"Dayuanfu" Broken Pot Made by Dayatang, Pure Silver

Made by Daiyatang - Daiyuanfu - Broken Pot Pure Silver

The renowned "Ooyuanzuke" broken pot among Hanzhi iron kettles showcases a natural and unrestrained effect in its repairs and textured surface. The Daiyatang replica of the Ooyuanzuke sterling silver kettle, with its seemingly rusty patina and warm purple sheen, and its copper-plated silver lid bearing traces of repair, exudes a serene and weathered beauty.
In this impermanent world, nothing is perfect, and life is not eternal; all wounds and experiences are natural. So it is with life, and so it is with tea and teaware. Bumps, imperfections, and cracks are both regrets and natural occurrences.

Such is the nature of all things, including gold, silver, wood, and stone. Accepting imperfection, cherishing all things, and embracing flaws are also forms of beauty. And pursuing perfection within an imperfect life is also an attitude and a form of self-cultivation.

Among the ironware craftsmen of Kyoto during the Edo period in Japan, the Miyazaki family was renowned. The Miyazaki Kanchi family of the Kaga Domain was known for generations as Hikokuro Kanchi. The Kanchi family of the Miyazaki lived in Noto Province. The first Kanchi's grandfather was Jin'emon, his father was Hikokuro, and he had a younger brother named Hikosaburo Yoshitsugu. The first Kanchi (1632-1712), also known as Meiichi, with the pen name Tsubaki Tokuo, died in February of the second year of the Shotoku era at the age of over eighty.
