Vintage Hand-crafted Oriental Yixing Clay Teapot - Imperial Guardians (10 Oz)

This teapot is 100% handmade of clay. It is unglazed and creatively detailed with brave troops on the lid and also body ! Eversince the ancient times, teapots produced in Yixing were known to be the best of its kind. Originally they were made out of Zisha clay (also known as purple clay) which is an element that is known to be porous thus with perpetual usage, it absorbs the flavour of tea. Therefore, it has become a custom that only one flavour of tea is allowed to be brewed in one Yixing teapot.
