Qi Chui Real Pot | Pure Gold | Pure Silver

Works by Li Fuming, inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of silver forging techniques. Pure silver. Capacity: approximately 1000 ml. Weight: approximately 600 grams.

The shape of the bowl best embodies the ancient Eastern aesthetic of simplicity, harmony, and unpretentiousness.
The hammer forging is elegant and simple; the flat cover is made of old vines entwined with silver threads, and the old vines are woven into a handle, simple and elegant.

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

The teapot is made of 9999 sterling silver, entirely handcrafted from a single piece. Except for the handle and lid, the rest of the body is made from a single piece of gold and silver, without any welding. It is crafted entirely through meticulous hammering, undergoing 40 quenchings and 150,000 hammerings – a difficult and complex process. The rounded parts, in particular, require tens of thousands of hammerings to complete in one continuous motion. Although lacking intricate decorations, its simple and unadorned design, with its full shape and flowing lines, is pleasing to the eye, revealing a restrained beauty.
The name "Manabe" expresses respect for the renowned tea ceremony and metalwork master, Manabe Seiryo. Born in Hagoromo, Japan, Manabe Seiryo was the teacher of the famous metalwork master, Kitamura Shizuka. His teapot-making techniques are unparalleled and have been passed down through many generations. His unique style, characterized by thin-layer hammering, is considered the origin of the "one-piece" technique.
