Lu Yu Pagoda
Lu Yu Pagoda -
10 ounce capacity
A study in shapes, this Yixing teapot has a squared handle and spout while the body has more rounded, smooth undulating waves stacked into a design that looks very much like a classic pagoda. The color is a rich milk chocolate and the pour is supreme.

A modern take on a traditional style, the Lu Yu design is a tall box shape with smooth curves and hand-formed ridges depicting a bamboo theme that starts at the top, continues around the body, over the handle and finishes at the spout. The zisha clay is milk chocolate brown with a satiny smooth finish and ideal for oolongs.

Leopard
Leopard -
5 ounce capacity
This artisan design from Xiao Ma represents a leopard and is crafted with extra fine zisha clay. An inlay technique is used to create the trademark spots. Details are then added to define each spot and to create shadows around the spout and 'tail' handle. A lucky Chinese coin is carved into the knob on the lid. Mr. Ma's mark appears on the base and inside the lid.

Dragon Tower
Dragon Tower -
18 ounce capacity
Ms. Yin Qifen created a completely unique and very fun teapot. The dark zisha clay is organically dynamic and the perfect foundation for a magnificent dragon as he curls around the teapot forming both the handle and the spout with a tiny little dragon perching on the lid.
The artist's mark appears on the base and inside the lid. The teapot will actually hold a bit more than the declared 18 ounce capacity, but water may spill from the extra generous spout so I recommend filling to about 3/4" from the top.
