Xifushun x GUGO | A Teapot of Infinite Wonders

Five thousand years ago,
The ancient ancestors of Huaxia forged bronze with fire,
And carved jade discs with their hands—
Etching reverence for heaven and earth into every artifact.

Five thousand years later,
“Made in China” refines steel with technology,
And sculpts with precision down to the micron.
In this age of industrial civilization,
It continues the legacy of using craftsmanship to convey deeper truths.

As Tiangong Kaiwu once said:

“When objects are created with spirit, beautiful vessels carry virtue.”

The birth of the Xifushun “Past & Present Teapot”
Is a modern tribute to this timeless Eastern craftsmanship.

Heaven has its seasons, Earth its energies;
Materials possess beauty, and craftsmanship demands ingenuity.
Since ancient times, the aesthetics of Chinese creation
Have always placed material before art.

Xifushun understands this deeply.
We chose aerospace-grade stainless steel for the teapot body—
Locking in heat with microscopic precision.

Every curve of the teapot’s form
Was shaped through thousands of mechanical calculations.
Every thread on the lid
Holds the secrets of countless sealing experiments.

We’ve fused the warmth of traditional handcrafting
With the rationality of modern technology—
Creating a cultural artifact you can both admire and feel.

From the auspicious symbolism of the Qilin totem,
To the philosophical serenity of ink-wash landscapes,
From the humble grace of inscribed stone and metal,
To the ceremonial beauty of unboxing and unveiling—
All of it converges within this compact form,
To stage a dialogue across time and space.

Let this vessel bring us back to the roots of civilization,
And let technology be steeped in the warmth of human culture.
