Zhu Piao Teapot 竹瓢壺
Zhu Piao Teapot 竹瓢壺
Features & Benefits
- Zhu Piao Form (竹瓢壺) The Zhu Piao design is inspired by the shape of a traditional bamboo ladle, featuring a gently curved handle and elegant spout. The balanced proportions allow for smooth pouring and steady control during Gong Fu brewing.
- Vintage Purple Clay Made from purple clay sourced during the Cultural Revolution period, this material is valued for its dense mineral composition and mature firing qualities. The clay produces a deep, warm tone and enhances the body and smoothness of tea.
- Balanced Heat Retention With a medium wall thickness of 5, the teapot maintains stable brewing temperature while preserving the clarity and fragrance of delicate leaves.
- Handcrafted Craftsmanship Carefully made with refined shaping and clean transitions, the teapot reflects traditional Yixing techniques and a commitment to functional artistry.
- Versatile Brewing Capacity The 160 ml capacity is ideal for Gong Fu brewing sessions, allowing tea leaves to expand fully while maintaining precise control over infusion strength.
Design Concept
