Yixing Clay Teapot by Lü Ni

Capacity: 190 ml.

This teapot is made of Yixing clay by Lü Ni and comes in the shape of a Bian Xi Shi, a variation of the classic Xi ​​Shi.

The teapot features the workshop's seal on the bottom. The walls are of medium thickness.

The lid is recessed into the body of the teapot, rather than placed on top, ensuring a tight seal, proper operation of the water seals, and a complete lack of leaks during pouring.

The filter is a classic 7-hole design.

The body is decorated with an image of a sparrow on a branch. In Chinese tradition, a sparrow is considered a messenger of good news, bringing joyful and auspicious tidings.

The set includes a gift box and a product certificate.

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.
