Thank you for viewing. Various items from previous generations, including antiques and items from the past, are carefully stored in my family's storehouse. This teapot is made of Yixing pottery and features exquisite hand-painted and hand-carved details, making it a unique and refined piece. It has a mark and handwritten characters. Size: D13cm x W19cm x H10.5cm Features: This teapot is made of purple clay from Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, China. It is known for its good ventilation, which is said to preserve the aroma of tea. Marking: The bottom has a mark (signature) indicating the maker or kiln. This marking is an important factor in determining the authenticity and value of the purple clay teapot (there are handwritten characters). Material: Purple clay becomes a tea utensil with a unique texture after firing. It is said that the more you use it, the more it shines, and the taste of the tea becomes milder. Usage: Mainly used for brewing Chinese teas such as oolong tea and Pu'er tea. ※Special notes Although it is quite old, it is generally kept clean due to its good storage condition. However, as shown in the images from image 11 onwards, there is a chip on the underside of the lid. It is not visible from the outside, but please check the images. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment.
