Characteristics: The Han Duo shape (also called Han Da) has a strong, solid character, with a cylindrical body, clearly defined shoulders and a wide, stable base. It is the shape that stands for poise, uprightness and a regal bearing.
Highlight: The lid knob is turned as a cylinder echoing the body, for a whole that is harmonious, balanced and firm.
Description: The body carries lines of classical calligraphy finely incised by the artisan. Each stroke flows freely, cut at varying depths, giving the piece a scholarly, thoroughly artistic beauty.
Meaning: In the tea ceremony, calligraphy on a teapot is not mere decoration: it settles the mind of the drinker and invites reflection on the philosophy of life while sipping a fine cup of tea.
The rarest red clay in the zisha family, celebrated for its brilliant, warm orange-red colour.
Properties: excellent heat transfer and heat retention.
Advantages: Superb at lifting the tea's aroma, bringing out in particular the rich fragrance and deep sweet finish of premium teas. The longer it is used, the more the pot develops a patina, smooth and glossy as red sandstone.
An ideal size, suited to drinking with 2 to 4 people (a pair, or a small gathering).
This is the golden capacity, the one tea friends favour most for its versatility and its fit on any tea table.
Nine evenly spaced filter holes inside the spout.
Function: It keeps the pour strong, round and smooth. The filter holds back leaf debris effectively, so the tea reaching the cup is always perfectly clear.
