Product Description

This handcrafted Jianshui purple pottery steam pot features an elegant orchid motif created using traditional inlay carving techniques, where engraved lines are filled to form a refined, long-lasting design. Made from natural Jianshui clay and shaped entirely by hand, this steam pot reflects the harmony of craftsmanship, function, and cultural heritage.

Unlike modern cookware, the Jianshui Zitao pottery steam pot is a traditional vessel passed down through generations. It uses gentle steam circulation to cook soups, broths, and herbal dishes without direct contact with boiling water—helping ingredients retain their natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional value.
