Brewers would place the teapot in a large bowl of hot water to maintain the temperature of the tea. A perfectly crafted Shui Ping teapot is balanced so precisely that it floats completely upright in the water without tipping over. Culturally, it symbolizes harmony, inner balance, and steadfastness in life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Craftsmanship:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eThis 160ml teapot represents the pinnacle of minimalist geometric beauty. The defining feature of a true Shui Ping teapot is the \"Three Mountains Rule\"—the tip of the spout, the top of the handle, and the rim of the teapot all align on a perfect horizontal plane. Crafted from premium \u003ci\u003eXiao Mei Yao Zhuni\u003c\/i\u003e, a highly sought-after and rare red clay, it features a beautifully smooth, naturally lustrous, and warm reddish-orange surface.
