Yixing Terracotta Teapot Gao Gu 高鼓壺

Features & Benefits

Elegant Gao Gu Form (高鼓壺):
This “High Drum” style teapot is prized for its graceful, upward-reaching body and symmetrical balance. The elevated belly shape helps regulate heat retention and promotes even steeping, making it a refined choice for both daily use and special sessions.

Zi Ni (Purple Clay):
Made with traditional Zi Ni clay, this teapot offers moderate porosity and excellent breathability, enhancing the flavor of all tea types by softening edges and rounding out the mouthfeel. Over time, it will develop a rich patina from continued use.

Balanced Craftsmanship:
With a wall thickness rated at 5, the teapot retains heat evenly while still allowing nuanced control over infusion times. This makes it highly versatile and suitable for green, white, oolong, black, Pu-erh, and scented teas alike.

Artisan Work by Feng Hua Hong:
Crafted by Feng Hua Hong 馮華紅 this piece reflects thoughtful proportions, elegant lines, and steady hands. His work exemplifies a quiet mastery of form and function, embodying both aesthetic appeal and practical usability.

Ideal Gong Fu Brewing Size:
The 160 ml capacity makes this teapot a perfect vessel for gong fu-style brewing, allowing multiple infusions that fully express the character and aroma of fine loose-leaf.
