This Fangyuan teapot joins a gently squared body with rounded edges, a broad arched handle, and a short, neatly angled spout. The balanced geometry makes it easy to hold and gives the pot a calm, structured presence on a tea table.
Fangyuan means square and round, a traditional Chinese design idea expressing harmony between contrasting forms. In gongfu tea, a lidded teapot like this is used for repeated short infusions, with the lid lifted or replaced between pours.
Made in China from dark clay, the pot has a matte black surface and a subtle carved emblem on the front. Rinse away tea residue after brewing, then leave the lid slightly open until the interior is dry.
