This pot was made by the artist Gu Yanxin 顾燕新 in 2017. The teapot has been lightly used over the years to brew Taiwanese High Mountain Tea. The teapot is in perfect condition. Unfortunately the certificate was lost in a move and is not included.

This is an yixing teapot made from the rarer red clay known as "zhuni."  Zhuni clay is prized for its ability to preserve the full spectrum of flavour and fragrance of a tea. It is also the most difficult clay to fire as it is more likely to break during the process.
You can read more about zhuni clay in our blog entry here.

This pot is known as "half-handmade" as the sculptor uses a molding tool to shape the body, and uses his hands for the handle, spout, holes, and smoothing out the body. In fact, no machine was used in it's shaping as the use of the tool is entirely manual.

Preparation Before Use
Yixing Teapots should be prepared before using the first time. This is called "opening the pot". It removes the dust from firing the teapot.
We recommend rinsing the teapot under warm water two or three times, then filling the teapot with boiling water and emptying it out two to three times. After this the teapot is ready for use.
