Collectible Teapots
A fine teapot is a conversation between clay, fire and the maker's hand. Yixing Zisha craftsmanship has been handed down for centuries: from Chen Mingyuan's naturalistic fruit forms in the Qing dynasty, to the clean lines of Gu Jingzhou, the lotus-and-frog sculpture of Jiang Rong and the refined plain forms of He Daohong. Each piece holds the vision of its maker and the taste of its time. The teapots in the Xizhen collection are more than vessels for tea; they are works of art to be studied and savored. Handcrafted artistry, the beauty of form and the quiet pleasure of tea, all in a single pot.
