Teaware B&W Appreciation
Lately, I have been more interested in the five tradition shapes. I am not sure if this is true, from what I read, the pigeon style was created by Gu Jingzhou from modification of the shuiping. From the contrast of this pot, the body reminded me of those antique Chinese vase.

Gezui isn’t one of the five though… as you say it’s a more recent invention. Five are Bala(e), Biandeng, Xishi, Taijian and Bianyuan.DailyTX wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 1:45 pmLately, I have been more interested in the five tradition shapes.

Yup, the pigeon style is not one of the five. What is Bianyuan? I thought Ru Bing (肉餅) was the last one.Bok wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 6:41 pmGezui isn’t one of the five though… as you say it’s a more recent invention.

Ah yes you’re right, Roubian is the last one. Bianyuan is flat and round, quite rare and expensive. But it’s the only 60s shape I’m still considering to get at some point. It’s very pretty in person.DailyTX wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 9:27 pmYup, the pigeon style is not one of the five. What is Bianyuan?

@Bok: I like how the black and white emphasises the gentle contours of the lid.
I caught a glimpse of your former pot from a different perspective while I was testing some liu an last night, and was inspired to take a photo today to try to emphasise its understated chubbiness...

Three cups taken with a Rolleiflex using FP4+ rated at 160 and developed in Pyrocat-HD, for the photography folks on the forum. The full resolution scans and wet prints look amazing from this combination of film and developer, especially in medium format.
Stunning nuanced tonality so profound @Baisao. Rolleiflex, a great camera in able hands. Nice to see. Thanks
