Handcrafted from natural Jianshui red clay, this traditional Han Tile teapot features a playful cat design created through intricate carved-and-inlaid clay craftsmanship.

The cat artwork is first sketched onto the clay, then carefully carved and filled with contrasting colored clay. Rather than being painted onto the surface, the design becomes part of the teapot itself, bringing a charming artistic touch to its classic form.

An additional firing process deepens the warm red clay tone, while the natural unglazed finish preserves the character of the handmade surface. With a 200ml capacity, this teapot is ideal for gongfu tea brewing and everyday tea moments.
