Yixing Tea PotThis fully handmade yixing tea pot is one-of-a-kind and available while supplies last
Crafted By Zhuang Yaxin
This sculptural masterpiece from master potter Zhuang Yaxin is a portrait of aromatics, shaped like a magnolia blossom, with a single petal adorning the lid. The whole pot seems to reach upward like the steam of aromatic fresh brewed tea swirling up.
This pot is stunningly light, and perfectly balanced and composed, a nod to Zhuang Yaxin’s skill as an established potter.
Her Golden Duan Ni clay is already breathtaking in the light, but will continue to grow deeper and more lustrous with every brew session.
