Product Description 

This handcrafted Jianshui clay teapot is formed in a traditional gourd shape, a classic symbol of blessing, harmony, and good fortune in Chinese culture. The surface is decorated using the time-honored yin-carving and yang-filling inlay technique, where engraved lines are filled with contrasting clay to create depth, clarity, and visual balance.

Each teapot is individually shaped and finished by hand using authentic Jianshui clay. During the hand-polishing and lid-rotation process, slight uneven finishing marks may appear around the teapot rim. These marks are a natural result of traditional manual shaping and adjustment, reflecting the hands-on craftsmanship involved in achieving a proper lid fit. They are not defects and do not affect performance, sealing, or usability. Please review the product images carefully if surface uniformity is a concern.

With an approximate capacity of 210ml, this gourd-shaped teapot is ideal for gongfu tea brewing, offering smooth pouring control and stable heat retention. The unglazed pottery body supports clean flavor expression and develops a richer patina over time with continued use.

Thoughtfully crafted for daily tea rituals, meaningful gifting, or cultural appreciation, this gourd inlay teapot reflects the authenticity and character of traditional Jianshui pottery.

An English care guide is included, providing clear instructions on proper use, cleaning, and long-term maintenance to help preserve the beauty and performance of your teapot.
