The teapot is made from a rare and highly regarded Yixing clay variety. The surface shows a 梨皮 (lí pí, “pear-skin”) texture, meaning a slightly speckled and sandy appearance that collectors value for its natural character and tactile feel. This type of clay is considered collector’s grade material.
Design & Shape
The form is classic and balanced. A gently rounded body that sits low and stable, paired with a clean, slightly lifted spout and a softly curved handle. Nothing exaggerated, nothing forced—just harmony from every angle.
Inside, you’ll find a fully handcrafted inner strainer, carefully pierced by hand. Each hole is placed with intention, allowing for a smooth, controlled pour while keeping even finer leaves contained. This level of detail reflects a slower, more deliberate way of making teaware—where function is shaped by the hands, not machines.
Over time, the pear-skin clay will develop a deeper tone and softer sheen, responding to the tea you choose to dedicate to it. It’s the kind of teapot that doesn’t try to impress at first glance—but becomes more compelling the longer you live with it.
A piece made not to stand out, but to stay with you.
