Virtue Bell Teapot - Copper Coins # 96141

The virtue bell teapot has a cylindrical bell-like body, raised shoulder, broad domed lid, and rounded loop handle. Repeating coin motifs frame the central character panel, while the straight spout and sturdy lid knob make pouring and refilling easy during a tea session.

Dadezhong means virtue bell, naming a teapot form whose balanced body recalls a bell. Bell-shaped vessels have an established place in Chinese material culture, while teapots in this tradition are brewed centrally and poured into small cups or a fairness pitcher.

This Chinese teapot is made from dark pottery, with reddish-brown accents revealing the incised coins, geometric borders, and character panel. Rinse it with warm water after use, wipe the lid and recessed decoration dry, and avoid abrasive cleaning.
