This is an yixing teapot made from the rarer red clay known as "zhuni". 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 it's ability to bring out the best flavors. 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 clay in our blog entry 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.

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.
