This practical form has long roots in Chinese tea culture: examples and written references appear from the late Ming into the Qing and thereafter, used both in households and in tea‑service contexts where a strong top handle made lifting and pouring easier. Craftsmen executed the form in a range of materials—Yixing clay, porcelain, and metal—allowing regional and decorative variation while keeping the same basic functional idea.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nShape note: A typical ti liang hu has a rounded or slightly compressed body, a lid at the crown, and a high arc handle fixed at two opposite points on the rim or shoulder; the spout sits opposite the handle to balance pour dynamics. Handles can be integral (same clay) or attached metal\/bamboo, and proportions vary from compact personal teapots to larger serving vessels. If a precise subtype or dating is needed the form can be ambiguous across periods and kilns; this description therefore gives the general historical context and the common identifying features rather than a definitive provenance.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWood-fired handmade Yixing teapot made from Duanni clay sourced from the original Huanglongshan mine.
