Dragon Egg Teapot Yixing Purple Clay Carved Inscription 170ml

Dragon Egg Teapot – Yixing Purple Clay Hand-Carved

Compact, sculptural, and full of character — this Yixing purple clay dragon egg teapot takes its form from the hexagonal dragon egg, a shape celebrated for its smooth lines, balanced proportions, and quietly powerful presence. Hand-carved inscriptions on the body give each piece a unique artistic identity, making no two teapots exactly alike.

Crafted by Zhou Ting, an award-winning arts and crafts artist whose works are held in the collection of the National Museum of China.
