The shi piao is one of the strongest and most elegant classic forms for an yixing teapot. It is a statement of sacred geometry, of the perfect triangular relationships between each angle. Artist Pan Yang brings his skill and aesthetic to this classic with a bold and dramatic tall teapot body counterbalanced by a perfect mirror of itself in the spout and handle. Pan Yang’s fame and dedication gets him access to incredible clay, and this rich mottled yuan kuang di cao qing is no exception. This gallery piece is ready for a lifetime of use and will build a beautiful patina over time
