Yixingská Konvička 16

A traditional Yixing teapot in the Xiao Yuan Bao Hu (小元宝壶) style, inspired by the shape of the traditional Chinese gold ingot known as yuanbao, a symbol of wealth and prosperity. It features a compact form, rounded lines and harmonious proportions.

The teapot is made from Da Hong Pao Ni, a fine variety of Yixing Zhu Ni clay with a smooth texture. After firing, it develops a dense structure and a pleasantly smooth surface.

Yixing clay retains heat well, making this teapot suitable for preparing oolongs, black teas and pu-erh using the traditional gong fu cha method. As the unglazed surface can gradually absorb tea aromas, it is best to dedicate the teapot to one type of tea or a similar group of teas. With regular use and proper care, the clay gradually develops a distinctive patina.

A small teapot with a distinctive shape, perfect for enhancing your daily tea ritual or as a thoughtful gift for an enthusiast of traditional Chinese tea culture.
