Product Description

This handcrafted Jianshui clay teapot is shaped in the classic Shi Piao form, prized for its clean lines, stability, and excellent pouring control. The entire surface is finished with an elaborate full dragon and phoenix carving, symbolizing harmony, prosperity, and auspicious balance in traditional Chinese culture.

Each teapot is individually shaped and carved by hand using authentic Jianshui Zitao. The full-carving technique gives the surface rich depth and sculptural detail, while maintaining a solid, well-balanced feel in hand. No two pieces are exactly alike, reflecting the natural variation of handcrafted work.

With an approximate capacity of 200ml, this Shi Piao teapot is ideal for gongfu tea brewing, allowing precise control over infusion and aroma. The unglazed pottery body offers excellent heat retention and supports clean flavor expression, developing a deeper character with continued use.

An English care and maintenance guide is included, offering clear instructions on proper use, cleaning, and long-term care to help preserve the teapot’s appearance and performance.

Combining traditional symbolism with refined craftsmanship, this dragon and phoenix teapot is suitable for daily tea rituals, meaningful gifting, or as a collectible piece for tea enthusiasts.
