Considered ten and fourteen cup size pots in reference to ceremonial services, these 200 ml and 280 ml capacity teapots are the perfect all-rounder pots for group seances or making your large pot of morning black tea. The epitome of classic teapot shapes, shui ping pots have inspired asian and western tea ware makers for centuries; and for as good reason! They simply make good tea; and any kind fares well in such a pot. The pour is precise and generous and follow a beautiful arc. Like all the items that comprise our new series of Taiwanese made clay ware, they are made with surprisingly precise tolerances for such budget-priced pots. The wall thicknesses of both are even; the spout and handle are straight and well 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 un-glazed 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.
