宜兴工作室的发现

2025年清明节后不久,我在宜兴丁蜀一条老巷的工作室里发现了这只石狮。制作它的师傅是第三代紫砂艺人,以茶壶闻名 — 但每年冬天他会为当地的庙会手工塑制几件茶宠。这只狮子是该系列中最大的一件,意在为正式茶盘定下根基。我花了两个下午与他一同测试了十几只吐水器:我们从瓷壶中倒出热水,聆听水流的音调,检查水流是否干净地拱起且不漏水。这只狮子发出的声音最为稳定、悦耳。

所用的泥料是他独有的深色紫砂配方,他称之为「月光紫」,富含铁质与石英,使作品有沉稳的手感,干燥时带有微微的闪光。作品采用盘筑法成形,而非从整块泥料中雕刻,这样可以做出中空且具共鸣的壶身,能快速冷却内壁的水。狮子呈经典的守卫姿态:前爪直立,胸膛挺起,嘴微张作为吐水口。鬃毛是用竹刀刻划的,每一卷曲都是自信的一刀。

这个工作室的每件作品都会附带一小片无釉的陶瓷比对片,上面有作者钤印。当你将它与茶宠一同浸泡时,比对片会以同样的速度养出包浆 — 这是包浆旅程的一种认证标记。Michael Zhan,采购报告编号 #DZS-SP47。

The leaf, brewed

Seated guardian with tea-spouting charm

dry leaf

Unseasoned: matte charcoal-grey body with subtle iron speckles and fine tooling marks. Light for its size, solid in the paw.

wet leaf

After a hot-water rinse, the lion’s surface deepens to a velvety black-brown. The spout opens with a soft gurgle, then releases a thin stream.

liquor

N/A – the lion drinks, you don’t.

aroma

Dry earthiness when brand-new. With repeated tea rinses (shou puerh or roasted oolong), the clay absorbs a faint, familiar fragrance.

taste

Not for tasting. The lion gargles water or cooling tea and spits a steady, arched stream from its open mouth, entertaining guests.

finish

The water trickle lingers for several seconds after the pour, then silence — a meditative punctuation on the tray.

Brewing

A method, not a recipe.

Method
Gongfu tray ritual
Ratio
N/A
Water temp
90–95 °C (hot, not boiling, to avoid thermal shock)
First infusion
Pour steadily until the internal chamber fills and water spouts from the mouth — around 15–20 s
Subsequent
Repeat at will during the session. The lion holds enough water for 2–3 good spouts per fill.

请使用茶汤或壶中降温的水;切勿直接将沸水倒在雕像上。数月后,狮子将逐渐形成光润的茶色包浆。
