Kitamura Qi Hammer | High

Produced by Dayatang, made by intangible cultural heritage inheritor Hong Jike. Volume: Approx. 1000 ml. Weight: Approx. 600 g.

With its extremely simple and unadorned design, upright spout, gracefully extended handle, jade tassel, and woven old vine handle, all forged with a hammer, the style is understated and elegant.

The body of the kettle is made of 9999 sterling silver, handcrafted from a single piece of silver. It undergoes 40 quenchings and 150,000 forgings.
Although it lacks elaborate patterns and is simple in design, its full shape and smooth lines are pleasing to the eye, revealing a kind of understated beauty.

Shizuka Kitamura [1904-1976] was an important inheritor of Japanese intangible cultural heritage. Her works are characterized by their simplicity and elegance, with the body made from a single piece and the handle shaped like a bean pod.

Just as teapots created by Lu Siting are called "Siting teapots," teapots in the style of Gong Chun are respectfully named "Gong Chun" by later generations.

Due to Kitamura's status in the history of metalworking, works of this style are respectfully referred to as "Kitamura" pieces in the industry.

The exquisite craftsmanship of Chinese silverware is unprecedented, and its simple beauty and harmonious Eastern style are also admired by contemporary tea drinkers.
