Reaching to the Peak
A deep breath, and the world enters your heart.
A warm cup, and life’s chapters unfold.
— Heinrich Wang
“Reaching to the Peak” is a poetic interpretation of strength, vision, and graceful resilience—embodied in a porcelain teapot adorned with the legendary Chiwen (螭吻), one of the nine sons of the dragon in Chinese mythology.
Chiwen, also known as Chiwei or Dragon Fin, is said to love heights and gazing into the distance. Traditionally placed on rooftops to summon rain and ward off fire, Chiwen is an auspicious symbol of elevation, perspective, and protection. In this piece, two Chiwen ascend the sides of the smooth white teapot, their forms elegant and fluid, evoking upward motion and spiritual ambition.
This teapot balances “movement” and “stillness”—with its symmetrical shape suggesting grounded presence, and the upward-climbing dragons symbolizing aspirational ascent. The decorative Chiwen also serve a functional role: insulating the pot for a comfortable grip while echoing the ancient art of storytelling through form.
Whether placed on your tea table, collected as a symbolic art piece, or gifted to someone reaching new heights, Reaching to the Peak honors the beauty of calm ambition and inner strength.
