Product Description

The Taozhai Fanggu Teapot is one of the most classic and revered teapot designs in Yixing pottery. Originally crafted by the famous Qing Dynasty Yixing master Shao Daheng, this shape was later refined and perfected by Gu Jingzhou in the 20th century, making it an iconic piece in the world of Yixing teapots. The shape is dignified and well-balanced, with smooth and harmonious curves. The spout, handle, and lid are perfectly proportioned, reflecting the elegance of traditional Chinese craftsmanship.

This teapot is made from high-quality Huanglongshan aged Zini clay, which is known for its fine texture, excellent breathability, and strong heat retention. This clay type enhances the depth and roundness of the tea’s flavor, making it particularly well-suited for Oolong tea, Pu-erh, and Black tea. Over time, as the teapot is used, it will develop a beautiful patina, becoming even more smooth and lustrous.

With a capacity of approximately 150ml, this teapot is ideal for solo or two-person tea sessions. It is well-suited for daily use, Gongfu tea brewing, or as an elegant piece for a tea table display.
