Pocket Classic Shui Ping Purple Clay Teapot, 80 ml
$ 35.00
The epitome of classic teapot shapes, shui ping pots have inspired asian and western tea ware makers for centuries; and for a good reason! They simply make good tea; and any kind fares well in such a pot. This new addition to our vast selection of shui ping pots fills a request many of you have voiced: to have a pocket sized one. This 80 ml rendition fills that void. it also allows us to introduce a new clay workshop to our collaborators. This small family workshop is established near Yingge; the historical hub of all ceramic industries in Taiwan. This 80 ml size is perfect for solo introspections as it allows you to pour directly into your cup. The 8 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. What we particularly like is that this workshop does not add a dye to their base red clay to create this purple coloured one. The main pot elements are all molded in red clay and a purple slip is added to the outside to turn it into a purple pot. Only pure clay that was tested to be free of heavy metals and contaminants gets in contact with your tea. 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.
This teapot is also available in Red Clay.
