🫖 Plum Blossom Teapot F2 90s. Shen Hefang 沈和芳

🔎 The teapot is sold with a plate and 5 bowls, which are not from this teapot. I got them for free, so I waited until the clay was similar and added them to the set.

✨ There was a chip on the rim, which was restored with coccus-urushi and varnish. I left it black, without powder.

🧱 Clay Hei Ni (dark)

🧂 Each teapot with a single hole is equipped with a filter-nest made of food-grade stainless steel.

Shen Hefang

Shen Hefang 沈和芳 was born on April 5, 1966 in Yixing. But then, as often happens, the biography is cut off until 2011, when she received the initial professional qualification of a technician 工艺美员.

October 31, 2016 - listed in the list of craftsmen who successfully passed the practical certification of the assistant level, and later received the qualification of assistant craftsman of decorative and applied arts 大学工工美师.

I have already seen such teapots from the Second Factory in the 90s, so I identified it that way, but surprisingly, the identification was confirmed indirectly through the craftswoman's husband.

Wang Xiaoping 王小平 is also a ceramist and he has worked at Factory No. 2 since 1983, according to his biography. That is, we can assume that they met there.
