Yixing Clay Chrysanthemum Teapot

The Yixing Clay Chrysanthemum Teapot is crafted from raw ore purple clay using traditional pure handmade techniques. With long-term use, the teapot gradually develops a jade-like patina. The lid knob is designed in the shape of a flower bud, remaining cool to the touch and easy to handle. The short spout design allows smooth, controlled pouring without splashing, helping keep the tabletop clean. A seven-hole internal strainer effectively filters tea residue, improving the clarity and taste of the tea. The ear-shaped handle offers a comfortable, effortless grip, while the smoothly polished base protects surfaces. Thanks to the petal-inspired structure, the teapot stands firmly and steadily without wobbling.
