Scuplted Lotus Long Dan Yixing
Scuplted Lotus Long Dan Yixing
CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK
Crafted By Lai Xiaohong
This elegant long dan, or Dragon’s Egg teapot was handcrafted by Lai Xiaohong using a fine speckled Di Cao Qing Ni. The crowning achivement of this teapot is the subtle and fine lotus relief. Unlike carving, which can be done with dry clay and a pick, a relief has to be hand built onto the teapot body. The wide spout bodt curves off the dragon egg shape gracefully, and the generous strainer allows for a smooth pour. The lid fits with masterful precision and turns smoothly.
