Han Tile Teapot - Leaves Pattern # 96156

This Han tile teapot has a broad, rounded brewing body, a flat lid with a raised knob, an angled spout and a large loop handle. Its continuous scrolling-leaf relief rewards close viewing, while the balanced silhouette makes it practical for pouring tea at a shared table.

The Han tile name points to the architectural inspiration of the surface pattern, rather than a securely documented historical teapot form. Chinese teapots became established with loose-leaf tea in the Ming dynasty, and similar vessels continue to support gongfu brewing and repeated infusions.

Made in China from dark ceramic, the pot displays copper-brown highlights across the foliage, geometric borders and lid decoration. The smooth handle contrasts with the textured body. Rinse away tea leaves after use and allow the pot to dry naturally.
