Chinese Yixing Zisha Clay Decorative TeapotSOLD Decorative Yixing clay teapot with rocks, leaves, and log on top. Handle and spout in the form of tree branches. On the whole, representing an oak tree. Wood is one of the five Chinese elements. This teapot is made using Zisha clay from Yixing in Jiangsu Province, China. This special "purple sand" clay has been used since the Song Dynasty (960-1279) - it is considered the best clay for teapots. The inside is unglazed, as is expected with Yixing teapots, so that with use, the tea will infuse into the body of the teapot and, over time, enhance the flavor of the tea. Maker's mark on the bottom. No cracks or chipsSilk Road Collection is proud to offer this Oriental treasure from the estate of Vaughn L. Banting, the noted collector, author, and bonsai expert.
