A timeless Yixing form, the Duo Qiu (掇球) is celebrated for its harmonious composition of rounded forms. This handmade teapot features a full, graceful body, domed lid, and spherical knob, creating the beautifully balanced “stacked spheres” silhouette that gives the form its name.
Crafted from warm Zhuni clay, its rich reddish tone and refined texture highlight the elegant simplicity of traditional Yixing craftsmanship. A poetic inscription is engraved inside the teapot, adding a hidden artistic detail that reveals itself when the lid is opened. The combination of Yixing pottery, Chinese poetry, and calligraphy gives this piece an especially cultured and collectible character.
A classic form on the outside, with a poetic surprise within.
