QIEDUAN NIXING CERAMIC TEAPOT FROM QINZHOU - 180ML - MA WUHONG - FULLY HANDMADE TEAPOT

CÀ ĐOẠN TEAPOT – NIXING CERAMIC FROM QINZHOU (180ML)

The Cà Đoạn teapot is a perfect blend of age-old ceramic craftsmanship and inspiration drawn from unadorned nature. With its rare five-colour clay and a form rich in meaning, this is not merely a piece of tea ware but a work of art that deserves a place in every tea lover's collection.

1. A distinctive artistic form

The Cà Đoạn shape is full and rounded, brimming with vitality. The artistic accent lies in the lid knob, meticulously modelled as a fruit stem, while the spout and handle imitate tree branches with naturally rendered veining, giving a secure and familiar feel in the hand.

2. Rare Nixing clay

Nixing clay from Qinzhou is renowned for its fine texture: it does not absorb water, yet it holds the fragrance of tea beautifully. The longer the pot is used and "seasoned", the smoother and glossier its surface becomes, taking on a warm, jade-like beauty.

3. Flawless performance

With a standard 180ml capacity and a modern 14-hole filter, the pot pours a smooth stream and cuts off cleanly. The lid is crafted by hand by the artisan to an exceptionally tight fit, retaining heat optimally and fully awakening the flavour and aroma of fine teas such as oolong, pu-erh or green tea.

4. A humanistic meaning

The inscription "Thiền Trà Nhất Vị" (禪茶一味) — "Zen and tea are of one taste" — carved on the body of the pot serves as a reminder of the stillness and serenity in every cup of tea, bringing the drinker's spirit a little more ease after the bustle of daily life.
