Craftsmen and modern studio potters have long reproduced or reinterpreted archaeological shapes and decorative schemes, and dragons have been a persistent auspicious motif across Chinese ceramics and tiles.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nShape note: A “Han tile” teapot would typically echo the form of an ancient roof or building tile: a low, flattened or gently curved rectangular\/slab body with a compact profile. The dragon motif (龙纹) would be rendered in low relief or incised across the surface. Expect a snug, flush lid, a short, straight or slightly tapered spout and a handle integrated into the slab-like silhouette. Such pieces are often made in stoneware or zisha and are sized for gongfu-style brewing.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWood-fired handmade Yixing teapot made from Duanni clay sourced from the original Huanglongshan mine.
