ZISHA TEAPOT MAN SHU, HANDMADE BY ARTIST LEVEL 3, WANG LI-JUAN 王利娟（L3-2019）皱皮朱泥 曼殊壶
壶型：曼殊壶 MAN-SHU
泥料：皱皮 小煤窑朱泥 ZHU NI
容量：250ml
This handmade Yixing zisha teapot shape Man Shu <曼殊> is originated from the Song Dynasty in China, drawing inspiration from the ancient method of binding handwritten manuscripts.
During that era, people began using paper as writing material. Using slender cords, they folded the paper into volumes and secured them together through binding, inventing the "sewn-bound" technique. Applying this aesthetic value to other artworks and objects, one such creation is the Manshu teapot.
The Manshu teapot features a simple and full-bodied design, exhibiting a smooth transition and flowing lines that embody the spirit of simplicity, purity, and tranquility.
In its details, the spout is crisp and sharp, extending outward with an elegant flair.
The knob is designed like a hat, displaying a rustic and graceful charm.
The handle, resembling a small bucket, rounds along with the body and extends outward similar to the spout, creating a piece that feels dynamically tense.
The teapot lid is designed with a cap, revealing intricate details that exude a delicate and graceful charm, showcasing an air of dignity and elegance.
曼殊壶的由来可以追溯到中国宋代，它的设计灵感源自于古代手写文稿的装订方式。
在那个时期，人们开始使用纸张作为书写材料，使用细长的绳线，将纸张折叠成册，并通过绑扎固定在一起，发明了"线装"。
将这种美学价值，应用到其他艺术品和物件上，其中之一就是曼殊壶。
曼殊壶型简约，玉润饱满，折肩过渡自然，线条流畅，展现追求简单、纯粹和平静的精神。
在细节上，壶嘴干脆利落，呈外伸飞逸之势；壶钮如帽盖设计，古朴典雅；耳把随身桶而圆，与壶嘴同样呈外伸之势，整器在感觉张力十足，壶盖是截盖式设计，微细中见神韵,流露灵秀韵势；端庄高雅。
