A mythical guardian for your tea ritual. This sculpted Yixing teapot in dark purple clay is shaped like a coiled dragon protecting the brew. Rich texture, relief details and the weight of real clay turn each pour into a small ceremony.
Materials & Details
Handmade from traditional Yixing zisha (purple clay), the teapot features a dragon head spout, carved scales and decorative relief along the body. The lid sits securely, while the curved handle gives good control during gongfu-style brewing.
Specifications:
• Material: Yixing zisha purple clay
• Craft: hand-sculpted relief dragon design
• Capacity: approx. 180–220 ml (gongfu size)
• Color: deep charcoal-brown / purple
• Style: collectible dragon motif, classic Chinese gongfu teapot
Care & Maintenance
Rinse with hot water only; do not use detergent, so the clay can slowly season with tea oils. Ideally dedicate the teapot to one tea family (oolong, pu-erh, black tea). After brewing, empty, rinse, and allow to air-dry completely with the lid off.
Packaging
The teapot is carefully packed with protective padding to keep the sculpted details safe in transit. A striking gift for tea lovers and collectors, or a centerpiece for your own gongfu tea table.
