Yixing Tea Pot
Crafted By Zhao Yonghui
Artist Zhao Yonghui’s reimagines the mythical Qilin as a baby tea animal, a companion for sipping your favorite brews.
The qilin is a chimaera; a combination of lion, deer, sometimes dragon, and even giraffe, often thought of as a lucky portent. This sculptural, stylized, sounded Qilin is unique and expressive, showing off Zhao Yonghui’s skill as a potter.
Made from real Zi Ni Yixing clay, years of pouring a little of each brew over this tea animal will give it a lustrous patina.
