Product Introduction: This teapot embodies profound artistic connotation with its elegant design and exquisite craftsmanship. It excels both in aesthetic appeal and practical use, thus winning great favor among purple clay collectors and enthusiasts at home and abroad.

Clay Characteristics: The clay has a distinct sandy texture, exuding the simplicity and sincerity of a hardworking farmer. With prolonged use, its unique charm gradually emerges, and the patina undergoes remarkable transformation, turning into a smooth, moist and dignified finish. The teapot features graceful and natural lines, with a perfectly balanced spout and handle. The slender handle paired with the well-proportioned body further accentuates its elegance.

The Xishi Teapot is a classic teapot shape. As the name suggests, it is as beautiful as Xishi, the renowned ancient Chinese beauty, from whom the teapot draws its inspiration. The spout resembles Xishi’s delicate mouth, the rounded body serves as the water-holding part, and the curved handle mirrors her slender waist. It adopts a flush lid design, with the lower part of the pot body tapering inward to form a subtle concave base.
