Yixing teapot Bian Xi Shi Lu Ni 180 ml

Yixing Lu Ni Teapot

Capacity: 180 ml.

True natural Lu Ni (green clay) is quite rare. Its reserves in Yixing are limited, so teapots made from it are rare.

The teapot's filter strainer is shaped like a nest, and the workshop's signature seal is on the bottom. The walls are slightly thicker than average, ensuring good heat retention. The lid is recessed into the teapot rather than placed on top, ensuring a tight seal, perfectly functioning water seals, and a leak-free brew.

The set includes a branded box, product documentation, and a lid cord.

Clay from Isin is famous all over the world, it has a porous structure, which prevents the drink from quickly cooling and allows the tea to breathe. The texture of Yixing clay is very plastic, which allows craftsmen to make real masterpieces of various shapes and volumes. To get one color or another, real pottery artists mix several types of clays from different deposits, vary the firing temperature, add organic and mineral substances. But the color of the main material remains dominant. There are several basic shades of Yixing clay: red, purple, green, yellow and black.

To date, the original clay deposit has been closed. The clay used now is also mined in Isin, only in other deposits. But this does not mean at all that teapots made from clay from other deposits are fake.

• Factory teapots are relatively inexpensive - no more than $ 80. They are produced in large quantities, they do not pretend to be considered masterpieces of art, but the cost is also comfortable.
• Teapots from individual craftsmen are one-of-a-kind products, each one is individual and sell for $ 80-500.
• Teapots from world-famous masters are impeccable and are made in single copies. The cost of such products is from $ 1000 and more.
• So it's up to you how strong your tea ambitions are :-) And we will try to provide you with the widest possible choice.
