One of China's celebrated "Four Great Potteries", crafted from the distinctive red and white clays found on the banks of the Qin River.
Characteristics: a silky-smooth surface and an outstanding ability to hold the flavour and aroma of the tea.
Kiln-transmuted colour: Nixing ware uses no glaze; its colour forms naturally in the kiln at high temperature (above $1000°C$), producing one-of-a-kind brown, grey or liver-red veining that grows more lustrous the more the pot is used.
Made entirely by hand by master craftsman Zeng Shijun, guaranteeing refinement in every line and high collectible value.
The base of the pot carries the artisan's hand seal, confirming its origin and quality.
One of the most classic shapes in the tea ceremony, with a solid, unadorned beauty built on a wide-based trapezoidal form.
This design gives the leaves ample room to open fully, releasing their flavour and aroma to the utmost.
Compact and refined, the perfect choice for drinking tea alone (1 person) or as a pair (2 people).
The motif is incised by hand with great care into the body of the pot, depicting a cluster of lotus — seed pods, buds, leaves and blossoms in full bloom, all joined along a single stem.
Meaning: In East Asian culture, the lotus is a symbol of nobility and purity and of peace. The "Linked Lotus" motif (lotus without end) also carries the meaning of endurance and fertility and unbroken good fortune.
Fourteen hand-drilled filter holes give a strong, round, smooth pour while keeping spent leaves out of the cup.
