Yellow Clay Han Tile Teapot - Dragon and Phoenix # 96167
This Yixing teapot uses a low, cylindrical body with stepped bands and a broad fitted lid, giving it a strong architectural profile. Dragon and phoenix reliefs span both sides, while the generous handle and clear spout support steady pouring at the tea table.
The Han-tile name refers to a form inspired by the disciplined lines of traditional Chinese roof tiles, while the paired dragon and phoenix are established decorative subjects. In gongfu tea, this lidded pot is used for concentrated infusions poured in several short rounds.
Made in Yixing from yellow duanni clay, its warm ochre body contains visible sandy grains and crisp carved decoration under an unglazed finish. Rinse after use, dry completely, and reserve it for compatible teas to preserve the clayβs character.
