The epitome of classic teapot shapes, ping shui pots have inspired Asian and Western teapot makers for centuries; and for good reason ! They just make great tea; and any kind of tea does well in such a teapot.
The casting is precise and generous and follows a nice arc. The wall thicknesses are equal; the beak and the handle are straight and well aligned. Finally, the clay used is tested to be free of heavy metals and contaminants.
Not only is it a good introductory teapot to the world of unglazed clay crockery, but above all it is a good quality teapot that is sure to serve for years to come at a fraction of the cost of one authentic yixing of similar quality.
