About This Teapot

The Pan Hu (盘壶) is one of the most celebrated classic forms in Yixing Zisha tradition — admired for its composed, dignified silhouette and exceptional balance of form and function. This piece is handcrafted by Fan Linqiang, an artisan, whose work is defined by precision, refinement, and deep respect for classical aesthetics.

Clay: Ziyujinsha (紫玉金砂)

Ziyujinsha is a distinctive Yixing Zisha clay. Its surface shimmers with a subtle golden luster — warm, lustrous, and deeply satisfying to hold. With each brew, the clay slowly seasons, developing a rich patina that tells the story of your tea journey.
