Made by He Hanping the eldest daughter of He Daohong, the senior crafts master and her instructor at the Yixing purple clay factory #1. She joined the factory in 1985, and her early works were the simple compressed shapes with incised designs. She has since "branched out" into applied and relief decoration in which she excelled. Her father, He Daohong frequently supervised her work and has also signed the "Three Friends of Winter," design in the exhibition as having supervised the production. This tea pot was exhibited and sold by Jadestone Gallery, Vancouver, Washington at their "Masterpieces and Miniatures Exhibition," The Progressive Art of the Yixing Potter, May 1994. Original receipt and exhibition card included with this lot. The tea pot in exceptional condition, signed on the bottom twice and twice under the lid. Measuring 7.25" W x 4.75" H, just an exceptional piece.
