While the public’s general impression of purple clay still rests at its period of confusing speculation, not many would therefore recall the forgotten history and the lineage of development behind a piece of pot, as well as the perseverance and passion of masters and artisans during the process of creation and collection. This book is a rare collection of essays from the purple clay specialists and scholars from China mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong, including Professor Pei Junfeng and Mr. Gao Zhenyu from the mainland, Dr. Anne Lam and Miss Virginia Choy from Hong Kong, and especially the tea expert Mr. Chee Jung Sien from Taiwan, to share their delight of collecting and appreciating purple clay teapot through the four aspects: collection, love, appreciation and encounter as a token of respect to the great masters for their contribution, and as an access for readers to revisit the profound cultural heritage of purple clay art.
