Elephant Teapot Yixing Green Clay Handmade Square Handle 300ml

Elephant Teapot – Yixing Green Clay with Elephant Lid Knob

Playful in spirit, masterful in craft — this Yixing green clay elephant teapot is handmade from raw ore green clay sourced from Huanglongshan, Yixing. The elephant-shaped lid knob, upward-angled spout, and distinctive square handle combine symbolic meaning with a lively, immediately recognizable character. In Chinese culture, the elephant symbolizes wisdom, strength, and good fortune — making this teapot as meaningful as it is beautiful.

Crafted by Wang Zhaochun (born 1978), a national arts and crafts worker whose works are prized by collectors worldwide for their profound character and refined craftsmanship.

Key Features

• Elephant Lid Knob: A charming, lifelike elephant perched on the lid — a symbol of wisdom, strength, and auspicious fortune.
• Square Handle: A distinctive design detail that sets this teapot apart from conventional round-handle forms — ergonomic and visually striking.
• Upward Spout: Naturally connected spout pours smoothly and powerfully with a clean, steady flow.
• Huanglongshan Ore Green Clay: Large-particle, loose-structure clay with a clearly visible double-pore system — excellent air and pore convection for superior breathability.
• Improves with Use: Unlike ordinary vessels, this teapot becomes smoother, shinier, and more refined with every brew — developing its own unique character over time.
• Thermal Stability: Sandy green clay texture transfers heat slowly — excellent resistance to hot and cold, reducing risk of cracking.
• Aroma Adsorption: Absorbs tea fragrance over time; best dedicated to one tea type for deepening flavor.
