宜興工作室的發現

2025年清明節後不久,我在宜興丁蜀一條老巷的工作室裡發現了這隻石獅。製作它的師傅是第三代紫砂藝人,以茶壺聞名 — 但每年冬天他會為當地的廟會手工塑製幾件茶寵。這隻獅子是該系列中最大的一件,意在為正式茶盤定下根基。我花了兩個下午與他一同測試了十幾隻吐水器:我們從瓷壺中倒出熱水,聆聽水流的音調,檢查水流是否乾淨地拱起且不漏水。這隻獅子發出的聲音最為穩定、悅耳。

所用的泥料是他獨有的深色紫砂配方,他稱之為「月光紫」,富含鐵質與石英,使作品有沉穩的手感,乾燥時帶有微微的閃光。作品採用盤築法成形,而非從整塊泥料中雕刻,這樣可以做出中空且具共鳴的壺身,能快速冷卻內壁的水。獅子呈經典的守衛姿態:前爪直立,胸膛挺起,嘴微張作為吐水口。鬃毛是用竹刀刻劃的,每一卷曲都是自信的一刀。

這個工作室的每件作品都會附帶一小片無釉的陶瓷比對片,上面有作者鈐印。當你將它與茶寵一同浸泡時,比對片會以同樣的速度養出包漿 — 這是包漿旅程的一種認證標記。Michael Zhan,採購報告編號 #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.

請使用茶湯或壺中降溫的水;切勿直接將沸水倒在雕像上。數月後,獅子將逐漸形成光潤的茶色包漿。
