Product Description
The Name: "Ping Gai Shi Piao" (Flat-Lid Stone Gourd)
The "Shi Piao" is perhaps the most iconic and enduring shape in Yixing pottery history. This specific "Flat-Lid" variation emphasizes a sense of groundedness and stability. In Chinese tea culture, the Shi Piao represents strength, resilience, and the philosophical idea that "true greatness lies in simplicity."
Design & Craftsmanship
Crafted from Original Ore Aged Zini, this teapot possesses a deep, composed brown hue and a porous texture that seasons beautifully over time. The design features a distinctive trapezoidal body, a straight spout that ensures a powerful and clean pour, and a delicate bridge-shaped knob on a perfectly flat lid. The seamless transition between the body and the lid showcases the high level of handmade precision.
Recommended User
With its 220ml capacity, this teapot is ideal for daily solo sessions or sharing tea with 2-3 friends. It is particularly well-suited for brewing Oolong, Pu-erh, or Black teas, as the aged purple clay provides excellent heat retention and enhances the mellow notes of the tea.
