{"product_id":"dezhong-yixing-clay-woodfired-teapot-94805","title":"Dezhong yixing clay woodfired teapot # 94805","description":"The exact term \"德钟壶\" (literally “De‑Zhong teapot” or “virtue\/benevolence bell teapot”) is not widely documented as a single canonical form in surviving catalogues, so its precise historical provenance is ambiguous. That said, the name suggests a bell‑like silhouette and fits into a long Chinese tradition of naming teapot shapes after familiar objects.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nHistorically, teapots with descriptive names became especially prominent from the late Ming into the Qing dynasty among Jiangsu’s Yixing and other workshop traditions, where potters produced a wide repertoire of molded and wheel‑thrown forms for the gongfu tea ceremony. Many shapes were inspired by nature, ritual objects, or auspicious terms; the same name might be used by different studios at different times.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nShape note: a “bell” teapot typically presents a rounded, gently flaring body that reads like an inverted bell — broader at the shoulder and narrowing toward the mouth — often capped by a low domed lid and a simple finial. Spout and handle are proportioned for balanced pour control; in Yixing examples the unglazed clay’s warmth and slight porosity enhance tea seasoning. If you can provide a photo, I can give a more specific identification and stylistic assessment.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWood-fired handmade Yixing teapot made from Duanni clay sourced from the original Huanglongshan mine.
