Handcrafted from premium original ore green clay (Yuan Kuang Lü Ni), it features a distinct, earthy grey-green hue with a matte texture.

The teapot is sculpted in a naturalistic "tree stump" shape, complete with organic bark textures and hollowed-out root details at the base. The handle and spout are designed to resemble twisting wooden branches. The body is beautifully adorned with raised, hand-applied red plum blossoms (Hong Mei), creating a striking contrast against the grey-green clay. The bottom bears the maker's mark "Jiang Rong".

With a generous capacity of 450ml, this is a functional piece for brewing tea as well as a stunning sculptural object. Over time, Zisha clay develops a beautiful patina when used with tea, making it a cherished collector's item. It would make a sophisticated addition to any tea lover's collection or a striking piece of Asian decor for your home.
