Yixing

Yixing is Christopher Jenner's new ceramics collection inspired by the eponymous Chinese town.

When Jenner visited the town of Yixing during a trip to China, he got overwhelmed by their traditional craft of ceramics with the famous Zisha clay renewed for its rich, reddish characteristic colour and a rough finish, making the clay the perfect material for producing tea ware.

And that's what Jenner did. He designed and produced, together with craftspeople in Yixing, acomplete tableware collection including a tea service, plates, storage jars, jugs, vases, plates and bowls all in the same rich, reddish characteristic colour.
