Fang Gu shaped teapots find quite an appeal because of their rounded modern lines. They also make superb tea! This new addition to our selection of cast clay is made by a new collaborator established near Yingge; the historical hub of all ceramic industries in Taiwan. This small family workshop has been making clay wares since many generations. This larger 280 ml size makes a perfect daily pot for your daily morning tea or any other thirsty moments during the day. The 14 seconds pour out is precise and follows a beautiful fine arc. Like all the items that comprise our new series of Taiwanese made clay ware, they are impeccably made with very precise tolerances and great precision in the hand finishing. The walls are thin and even; the spout and handle are straight and perfectly aligned; finally, the clay used is tested to be free of heavy metals and contaminants. Not only is this a good introductory pot into the world of unglazed clay ware but, first and foremost, it is a good quality teapot that will be sure to render years of good service at a fraction of the cost of similar quality authentic Yixing ware. Made in Taiwan.
