Yixing teapot Bian Xi Shi Guangxi Sparrow on a bamboo branch 180 ml

Yixing teapot in the shape of Xi Shi. Volume - 170 ml.

The teapot from Qinzhou, Guangxi Province is also known as Nishing-tao.

A variation of the Xi Shi form called Bian Xi Shi.

Decorated with the image of a sparrow sitting on a bamboo branch, which symbolizes the messenger bringing good news.

The inscription on the body of the teapot has two meanings: the first is freedom and lightness, the second is the name of the painting style in which a sparrow is depicted.

The kettle is of good quality, thick walls that retain heat longer, and a ringing sound reminiscent of steel.

The classic 9-hole sieve provides excellent functionality and fast draining. The surface of the teapot is silky to the touch.

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.
