Bai Yu Duan Ni 'Qinquan' Yixing Teapot with Clay Painting 280ml

Appreciate the beauty and elegance of this white Duanni clay teapot, handcrafted by certified Yixing artist Xu Yao Wen. Due to its relatively large size, it's the perfect choice to enjoy tea together with friends or family.

This teapot features a classic Qinquan shape, inspired by the ancient scale weights in the Qin Dynasty. The Qinquan shape is simple but dignified, with a round body and a straight spout.

The white Duanni clay is a rare and natural ore that has a low iron content, resulting in a white jade-like colour and a soft texture. The clay is also exceptionally breathable, making it suitable for any type of tea, especially those with strong aromas such as black tea and oolong tea.

The landscape painting on this Yixing teapot is fully hand-drawn using Yixing clay. Different kinds of clay types are processed in a thinner state, so that it can be applied to the teapot with a brush. Controlling the thickness of the clay is crucial: it should be thin enough so that you can draw with it using a brush, yet thick enough so the landscape painting has a wonderful texture and depth. Only natural clay (hong ni, zi ni, lu ni, mo lu ni, duan ni, and hei ni clay) are used for the landscape painting. No artificial colouring is added.

This teapot is a perfect choice for tea enthusiasts who appreciate the art and culture of Yixing pottery. The teapot comes in a gift box, along with a certificate of authenticity from the artist.
