"Carved Rock" Teapot - 80 ml

Trends come and go in Chinese tea culture. 2025 looked to be the rise of pots shaped as if sculpted from rock.  A potter from Zibo caught our eye with this well crafted, yet affordable (in relation to others made in this style) teapot.  While its outside gives the impression of something carved roughly from stone, the inside adheres to thermodynamic principles an retains a smooth cylindrical shape.  The pour and seal on the lid are both excellent.

This teapot is unglazed inside, so is best suited for select oolongs, black and puer/hei cha.
