Zodiac Teapot Monkey Purple Clay Calligraphy Carved 240ml

Zodiac Teapot — Monkey Yixing Purple Clay Calligraphy Carved, 240ml

Playful yet refined — this Yixing purple clay teapot celebrates the Monkey, the ninth sign of the Chinese zodiac and a symbol of cleverness, wit, and wisdom. A lively monkey sculpture crowns the arched bridge lid knob, while the oblate body is hand-carved with a monkey relief and running script (行书) calligraphy inscription. Fired at 1200°C to fully mature the clay, revealing its unique luster and structural stability.
