With delicate carvings and a sophisticated design, this teapot captures the essence of autumn’s fleeting beauty, embodying the delicate fragrance that fills the air during the blooming of chrysanthemums.

Design & Artistry

• The Sculpture: This teapot showcases an exquisite blend of simplicity and sophistication. The "幽香" inscription is elegantly carved on the body, symbolizing the quiet and enduring fragrance of chrysanthemums, a flower revered for its elegance and resilience. The intricate carving of the chrysanthemum blossoms gracefully wraps around the teapot, bringing the vibrant spirit of autumn to life.

• Chrysanthemum Motifs: The carvings of chrysanthemums are carefully rendered, each petal and leaf detailed to evoke the natural beauty of the flower. The chrysanthemums not only represent beauty but also symbolize longevity and resilience in Chinese culture, adding depth to this tea vessel's meaning.

• Material: Made from high-quality Zini (Purple Clay), this teapot’s porous structure ensures excellent heat retention, enhancing the depth and flavor of your tea. Over time, the clay will develop a unique patina that reflects the rich history and elegance of the piece.
