"Tidal Wave" - 12 ounces
(~2 cups)
This is a beautiful interpretation of an ocean wave captured
in a chocolate brown teapot. It begins at the spout and
rushes across the body, kicking up 'sand' and finally curls back
in on itself to form the handle. A small after-spray forms
the lid's knob. Very cool!

"Jun Blue" - 10
ounces (1-2 cups)
Jun glazed porcelain originated in Junzhou during the Tang
dynasty, 618-907, and was used almost exclusively by royalty
for hundreds of years. In the Qing dynasty, 1644-1911,
jun porcelain began appearing in finer homes and became a symbol
of wealth.
These unique pots are made of fine zisha clay and fired with
a rich jun glaze, but only on the outer surface, to create a
stunningly beautiful teapot that retains the excellent tea brewing
qualities of YiXing teaware.

"Swirl" - approx. 9-11
ounces (1+ cups)
Ms. Chang Wan Fen has crafted a beautiful assortment of hand-pulled
zisha clay teapots for Sensational Teas and you may choose the
exact teapot you'd like to own. Click on each image to
see the larger, more detailed, version.
A variety of clay colors were used including a medium red-brown,
creamy tan, vanilla caramel, teal and grey. The proportion
of each color is different for each design with some being predominantly
brown and others having more cream or teal. The designs
vary as well. Some are a bit taller and narrower while
others are shorter and wider. One other difference is the
lid, some have a revolving "bead" that moves and some
do not.

"Bamboo Forest" -

This is such an impressive teapot. So much care and

"Elephant & Son" - 10
ounces (~1 1/2-2 cups)
Teapots don't get much cuter than this one. The baby
elephant is proudly perched on the parent elephant's back. Mom's,
or Dad's, trunk becomes the spout while the tail curls back in
to form the handle and four 'feet' support the duo. The
details are fabulous, from the tusks to the ears. The
inside of the lid and the base of the pot display the artist's
chop marks (stamps).

"1000 Year Dragon" -
9 ounces (~1+ cups)
The smooth round body of this teapot is fabulously, and unexpectedly,
juxtaposed with a clawed dragon splayed across the front. Tea
is poured out his mouth as he hangs on, claws firmly dug in to
keep him in place. Ms. Feng did a beautiful job of showcasing
the awesome dragon while also taking great care to make the rest
of the teapot warm and inviting. This chocolate brown
teapot comes with an authenticity certificate.
Ms. Feng Yao Feng, an YiXing Assistant Craft Master, began
creating teapots at the age of 16 and studied with the great
Master Li Chang Hong. Also see "Bamboo
Box".

"Nine Dragons" - 9.5 ounces
(~1-2 cups)
Anyone familiar with YiXing Craft Master Da Zhou's work understands
the intense effort and attention to detail that goes into each
of his teapots. Dragons often play a key role and there
are nine total displayed on the body of this pot.
The main dragon bursts forth on one side surrounded by three
dragons with teeth bared waiting to attack. On the
opposing side five dragons battle with balls of fire, bodies
intertwined in the roiling sea. The high quality golden
yellow zisha clay gives an elegant, antique appearance with a
rich feel and satiny soft smoothness. It reminds me
of creamy butterscotch. Da Zhou's chop marks (artist's
stamp) appear on the handle, inside the lid and on the base.
