Yixing Duanni Pumpkin Teapot 140ml


€138,00

This One-of-a-Kind Botai (薄胎) Yixing Clay Teapot is a beautifully crafted, pumpkin-shaped masterpiece that showcases the unique "薄胎" (thin-walled) technique. Created by a skilled artisan, the teapot has walls approximately 3mm thick, achieving the ideal balance of breathability and comfortable handling. This thin-wall design makes the teapot notably lighter than standard Yixing teapots, requiring exceptional precision in craftsmanship to avoid deformation during firing.

The unique qualities of Botai teapots include enhanced breathability, allowing the clay to absorb and age beautifully with each brew. However, they are more fragile than standard teapots, requiring mindful handling, especially when exposed to sudden temperature changes. This pumpkin-themed piece, topped with a charming "hat" lid, reflects both seasonal elegance and artistic skill, making it a treasured addition for serious tea enthusiasts.

Comes with Artist signature and certificate.

We present here a half-handmade collection of Zisha Purple Clay teapots, teacups from Yixing. Each piece is one of its kind and handmade by local ceramic artists in Yixing.

Yixing pots are traditionally made from Zisha (‘purple sand’), a natural clay known for its porous nature and excellent heat retention properties.

The beauty of a Yixing pot lies in its simplicity and functionality. Each pot is often handcrafted, ensuring that no two pots are exactly alike. This individuality is further enhanced over time, as the porous clay absorbs the flavors and aromas of the teas brewed within, gradually seasoning the pot.

Ideal for brewing oolong, black, and pu-erh teas, Yixing pots are valued for their ability to enhance the depth and complexity of tea flavors. The clay’s mineral composition interacts gently with the tea, softening and rounding its taste, making every brew a unique experience.

The aesthetic appeal of Yixing pots also lies in their diverse range of styles, shapes, and colors, from classic reds and browns to more modern designs. They are not just functional tools for brewing tea but also works of art, appreciated by tea lovers and collectors alike.

This teapot features filter, holds approximately 120ml of liquid and pours empty in approximately 5 seconds.
