Zheng Bixin | 郑壁鑫
Zheng Bixin is an independent ceramic artist whose works primarily focus on hand-crafted Gongfu-style
teapots — small, delicate vessels tuned for intimate tea rituals. Rather than striving for mass uniformity
or glossy perfection, he embraces subtle variation, clay’s natural tone, and a sense of age and
history (老味). His inspiration draws from his Chaozhou heritage and Gongfu tea
culture, combined with his ceramic practice in Jingdezhen.
His pieces are functional yet soulful — teapots meant to be used, to season over time,
to carry stories of tea, culture, and the maker’s touch. Their beauty lies in nuance,
in the quiet interplay of clay, shape, and ritual.
The raw materials for his creations include classical teapot clays such as Zhuni and Duanni (yellow and white),
and through his delicate hand-crafting and sensitive shaping, each pot becomes a unique object:
no two are the same. He experiments with shape, texture and clay type to evoke different sensations in tea
drinking — inviting a personal, sensorial, and culturally rooted tea experience.
