Alongside the celebrated Yixing zisha wares, Nixing Ceramic of Qinzhou (Guangxi) is known as one of China's long-established "Four Great Ceramics". Owning a Đường Vũ Nixing Ceramic Teapot with Lotus and Fish Motif 250ml on your tea table is not merely having a functional tea vessel – it is savouring a supreme work of hand-carved art.
Distinctive side-handle design: The Đường Vũ shape stands out for its graceful, elegant side handle, whose ideal length is calculated ergonomically.
Excellent functionality: The side handle not only lends an unhurried, fluid and artful manner to pouring, it also lets you lift the pot lightly, with no worry of burning your hand whatever the water temperature.
250ml group-brewing capacity: An ideal size for tea sessions of 3 to 5 people, well suited to a whole family or a circle of close friends enjoying fragrant rounds of tea together.
An exceptional mineral clay: Nixing ceramic is made from a perfect union of red clay from the eastern bank and white clay from the western bank of the Qin River. After firing, the body is dense and hard, its surface as smooth as a baby's skin, yet it holds a wonderfully breathable structure.
The one-of-a-kind beauty of "kiln transmutation": One of the most captivating traits of Nixing ceramic is the natural colour transformation that occurs in the kiln (kiln transmutation). With no glaze applied, the clay itself develops warm, antique tones, giving each pot a beauty that is utterly unique.
Masterful hand-carving craft: The entire "Lotus and Fish" motif on the body of the pot is carved wholly by hand by a skilled artisan. Every supple lotus leaf and every gracefully curving fish scale carries depth and a strikingly lifelike 3D relief.
Auspicious feng shui meaning: The image of "Liên Niên Hữu Dư" (carp beside lotus flowers) is a classic symbol of good fortune, abundant prosperity, unceasing surplus and a serene, untroubled life.
Precisely engineered design: Inside the spout, a 14-hole filter is pierced with great care and perfect evenness.
A flawless stream: The 14-hole filter lets the tea flow out quickly and strongly and cuts off cleanly, with no dribbling down the spout. At the same time it effectively keeps broken leaf from escaping, giving a perfectly clear cup that preserves the pure flavour and aroma of the tea.
