Xiao Fang Gu Teapot 小仿古壺
Features & Benefits
Classic Fang Gu Form
The Xiao Fang Gu is a smaller interpretation of one of Yixing's most beloved traditional teapot designs. Its rounded body, gently curved shoulders, and balanced proportions create a timeless silhouette that offers excellent pouring control and an elegant brewing experience.
Zi Jia Ni Clay
Crafted from Zi Jia Ni, a distinguished variety of Yixing purple clay, this teapot is valued for its fine texture, warm reddish-purple hue, and natural breathability. The clay gradually seasons with use, enhancing the aroma, depth, and smoothness of every infusion.
Balanced Heat Retention
With a wall thickness of 5, this teapot provides an ideal balance of heat retention and responsiveness. It maintains a consistent brewing temperature while allowing the subtle characteristics of each tea to develop naturally.
Handcrafted Craftsmanship
Individually handmade using traditional Yixing techniques, every detail reflects careful attention to symmetry, proportion, and finishing. Its refined simplicity highlights the beauty of skilled craftsmanship and enduring design.
Ideal Gong Fu Brewing Capacity
The 140 ml capacity is perfectly suited for personal tea sessions or sharing with one companion. Its compact size offers excellent control over multiple infusions, allowing tea leaves to fully express their character.
Design Concept
The Fang Gu, meaning "Imitation of Antiquity," pays tribute to the elegance of classical Yixing teapots. Rather than replicating a specific historical vessel, it captures the spirit of traditional craftsmanship through clean lines, harmonious proportions, and understated beauty. The Xiao Fang Gu preserves this timeless aesthetic in a compact form, making it an enduring favorite among tea lovers and collectors alike.
