{"product_id":"small-flat-jade-yixing-clay-woodfired-teapot-94826","title":"Small flat jade yixing clay woodfired teapot # 94826","description":"The name 小扁玉壶 literally translates as \"small flattened jade pot.\" That label is largely descriptive rather than a single, rigorously defined historical form, so the exact model can be ambiguous without a maker’s mark or provenance. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGeneral historical context: Small, intimate teapots became especially popular in China from the late Ming into the Qing dynasty as tea-drinking shifted toward the gongfu style—compact vessels that concentrate aroma and allow multiple short infusions. Both Yixing (zisha) stoneware and various porcelains finished in jade‑like glazes (celadon, ru-type tones, or smooth monochromes) have been used for such small teapots; makers often applied poetic names that reference material or shape rather than a formal type.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nShape note: A \"small flattened jade pot\" typically has a low, broad, slightly compressed (horizontally flattened) body with a relatively short spout, modest raised lid, and a simple arced handle. The term \"jade\" usually implies a smooth, even surface or pale green\/neutral glaze evocative of jade rather than actual jade material. The form emphasizes balance and a close, ergonomic hold for precise pouring.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWood-fired handmade Yixing teapot made from Duanni clay sourced from the original Huanglongshan mine.
