Product Description 

This handcrafted Jianshui clay teapot is formed in the classic Xi Shi shape, celebrated for its soft curves and balanced proportions, and finished with an intricate full lotus carving that covers the entire surface. Each teapot is shaped and carved entirely by hand, showcasing the depth, precision, and patience of traditional Jianshui craftsmanship.

The lotus motif—symbolizing purity and harmony—is rendered through full-carving techniques that give the surface rich texture and visual depth while maintaining a comfortable grip. Please note that Style 1 and Style 2 feature different decorative patterns on the lid, reflecting subtle variations created through hand carving. Kindly refer to the product images for specific details.

Made from authentic Jianshui clay, this teapot offers excellent heat retention and a smooth, controlled pour. With an approximate capacity of 250ml, it is well suited for gongfu tea brewing, allowing tea leaves to open fully and release layered aroma and flavor. The unglazed pottery body supports clean taste expression and develops deeper character over time 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.
