If you are looking for a teapot that carries a deep sense of ease, one that quiets the mind after long, tiring hours of work, then the Tần Quyền Nixing Clay Teapot with Zen Buddha Motif 200ml is the perfect choice. The piece has an antique, dignified beauty that is at the same time wonderfully serene, turning every tea session into a moment of complete calm.
Measured design: The Tần Quyền shape is modelled on the "weight" of a balance scale from the Qin dynasty. The body tapers from top to bottom and the base is broad and solid, giving an impression of profound composure, resolve and uprightness.
Superb handling: The handle curves in a soft dragon-ear/large-ear shape, the lid is a flush single-piece cut that seats tightly on the neck, and the round knob is easy to hold. Together this structure lets the brewer pour with great precision and holds the heat perfectly for a fine round of tea.
The art of hand carving: The finest touch on this teapot is the softly flowing face of the Goddess of Mercy together with an elegant lotus blossom near the base. Every incised and raised line, and the gold accents, are executed meticulously by the hands of a skilled artisan, giving the piece great spiritual depth and very high aesthetic quality.
A meaning of peace: The Zen Buddha image on the teapot means turning the mind towards purity and wishing for peace, good fortune and ease in life. Watching the tea steam curl against the serene drawing on the body dispels every worry.
Dense, fine, breathable body: Made from the special clay of the Qin River region (Guangxi) – one of the four great ceramic wares of China. After a high-temperature firing the teapot is as dense as bronze and rings with a crisp, clear note, yet its structure keeps the open pores that let it breathe, so the tea holds its aroma longer and the liquor is soft with a sweet finish.
Natural colour: The colour of Nixing ware comes from the marvellous change that happens inside the kiln (kiln transmutation), without a single drop of artificial oxide glaze, producing a unique natural sheen that only grows more beautiful the more the pot is seasoned.
Design optimised for function: Inside the pot is a precisely handmade 10-hole filter.
A complete tea experience: The 10-hole filter makes the stream pour out strongly in a round column and cut off cleanly at the spout. At the same time it effectively stops broken tea leaves from escaping, so every cup you pour is perfectly clear and pure.
