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
Inspired by the classic Pear Shape (梨形), this teapot features a softly rounded body that is fuller toward the base and gently narrows toward the top, creating the graceful silhouette of a ripe pear.
Its smooth curves give the teapot a warm, balanced, and elegant presence, while the golden-toned Yixing clay enhances its natural, earthy character. Simple yet timeless, the Pear Shape is appreciated for its harmonious proportions and comfortable, organic feel in the hand.
Golden Pear brings together the beauty of traditional Yixing form with the warmth of nature.
