In the 16th century, a scholar's servant named Gongchun watched an old ginkgo tree at Jinsha Temple and copied its burls — the knotted, living tumors of the trunk — into clay. What he made was not a pot but a piece of the tree itself: irregular, gnarled, and utterly without symmetry. Every Gongchun pot is a portrait of a single moment in nature, frozen in clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"section\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"section-inner\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"section-tag fade-up\"\u003eThe Story\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003ch2 class=\"section-title fade-up\"\u003eThe First Teapot\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"section-text fade-up\"\u003eBefore Gongchun, tea was boiled in cauldrons and whisked in bowls. The teapot as we know it — a vessel with spout, handle, and lid, made for brewing leaves — began with him. Legend says he was a servant at Jinsha Temple in Yixing, where he watched monks make pottery and copied the burls of an ancient ginkgo tree. His pots were so natural that they seemed to grow rather than be made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"section-text fade-up\"\u003eThe Gongchun form rejects every rule of craft. No two sides match. The surface is a landscape of bumps and hollows. The lid fits, but only just — it is meant to breathe, not to seal. This is \u003cem\u003epottery as found object\u003c\/em\u003e: a thing that looks as though it was discovered under a tree, not shaped by human hands.
