This tea cup was created with a combination of molding and hand-work.  Special attention was given to the creation of the carved "bas relief" motif which gives this teapot an ancient and esoteric uniqueness.  Firing was done with a wood burning kiln, which further adds a dramatic uniqueness to each piece.

The teapot is made from Nixing (Qin Zhou) clay with some sand admixture to make it porous, and as such it can be seasoned and should be dedicated to one type of tea.  (See our on seasoning clay teapots).  

Volume 60ml ( /- 10ml)
