This is an yixing teapot made from a rarer form of zhuni clay known as dahongpao for its deeper red colour.


It is made in the style of Three Leg Shuiping 三足水平 by Lin Hanpeng and Chen Chunhong Studio. Its capacity is 130ml. As you can see from the photos, zhuni clay has a slight bumpy appearance. The clay will develop a shine from use. Zhuni clay is prized for its ability to bring out the best flavours. It is also the most difficult clay to fire as it is more likely to break during the process.

You can read more about Zhuni Dahongpao here, and more about zhuni clay here.


This pot is known as "half-handmade" as the sculptor uses a molding tool to shape the body, and uses his hands for the handle, spout, holes, and smoothing out the body. In fact, no machine was used in it's shaping as the use of the tool is entirely manual.

You can read more about half handmade teapots in our blog entry here.



Preparation Before Use


Yixing Teapots should be prepared before using the first time. This is called "opening the pot". It removes the dust from firing the teapot.


We recommend rinsing the teapot under warm water two or three times, then filling the teapot with boiling water and emptying it out two to three times. After this the teapot is ready for use.

balanced and fine.

balanced and fine. fast pour, thick stream. first finger seems to work best when the pot is full. the precision of craft is clear. high notes are still present with green oolongs. Aroma is intensified, good clay! the shape of a teapot and it's beauty are somewhat about what you want. This is exactly what I wanted.
