Crafted with collection-grade Golden Dune clay (黄金段泥), this teapot is an epitome of artisanal excellence. Designed by esteemed artist Xu Xiaoming, a renowned State-level Craft Master, this teapot is fully handmade, reflecting the soul of Yixing teaware.
Exuding the serene essence of a zen garden, this exquisite teapot features intricate engravings of a delicate plum blossom, showcasing remarkable wenren fenggu—or literary charm. The artistry pays homage to the resilience and grace of the plum blossom under the harshness of winter, a fitting tribute that elevates each tea session to a moment of meditation and reflection.
The teapot is shaped in the classic Shi Piao (石瓢壶) style—an enduring favorite among Yixing enthusiasts. This form is distinguished by its harmonious triangular silhouette, low and stable profile, and gently tapered spout.

A symbol of understated strength and elegance, it marries form with function in a truly timeless way.
With a sleek clasp lid designed for aroma preservation and a precision 14-hole water outlet, every pour delivers a smooth, robust flavor. The quietly sophisticated design includes an elegant ear-shaped handle, ensuring comfort and poise. At a manageable size, this teapot holds approximately 260ml—ideal for personal contemplation or sociable tea gatherings.
Joining function with collectible artistry, the Yixing Teapot’s natural patina improves with use, nurturing its captivating luster and depth. Discover tea’s true potential with a teapot that is not only a tool but a treasured artifact.

I found the Golden Dune Clay Teapot through a Reddit recommendation and I’m quite happy with it. The packaging was super secure, and the clay has a beautiful warm tone. I think it’s a “flat pot” design? I’m still learning about Chinese tea culture, but this was a great start.
We’re so glad Reddit brought us together , and even happier that you’re enjoying the Golden Dune Clay Teapot! You're right, it does resemble a “flat pot” in some ways, but it’s actually more of a traditional Shi Piao (stone ladle) teapot. The two styles can be quite similar, so it’s a great observation! Welcome to the world of Chinese tea culture , you’re off to a great start!
