This handcrafted Yixing teapot is shaped in the classic Shi Piao (Stone Dipper) form — a timeless silhouette celebrated for its stability, precision, and quiet strength in traditional tea culture. Structured yet balanced, the angular body and gently tapered spout reflect the enduring design language of Yixing craftsmanship.

Made from authentic Yixing Zini clay, the teapot carries a deep, earthy tone and a fine mineral texture. Zini clay is valued for its breathability and ability to soften and round tea liquor over time, gradually developing a richer patina with use.

The body, lid, and even the interior are intricately carved with plum blossom motifs — a symbol of resilience and renewal in Chinese tradition. The continuous carving creates a subtle, immersive detail that rewards closer attention without overwhelming the natural beauty of the clay.

With a 160ml capacity, this teapot is ideal for personal gongfu sessions. Inside, a ball-shaped filter ensures smooth, steady pouring while effectively retaining tea leaves. The spout alignment provides a clean, controlled stream.

Each piece is fully handcrafted and artisan signed, reflecting individual skill and authenticity.

Versatile in brewing, this teapot is well-suited for a wide range of teas, including:

Black tea

Pu-erh tea

Rock tea (Yancha)

White tea

A harmonious balance of structure, symbolism, and function — a vessel designed for daily tea practice and long-term companionship.
