Product Story & Description
The Name: "Hua Qi" translates to "Floral Rest" or "Where Flowers Dwell," perfectly capturing the poetic spring scene painted on the vessel. The "Niu Gai" (Ox Cover) refers to the classic lid design featuring two symmetrical oval holes that resemble an ox's snout.
Design & Craftsmanship
In Chinese culture, the blooming peony is the "King of Flowers," symbolizing wealth, prosperity, and honor. The butterfly represents joy, freedom, and romance. Together, they form a classic motif signifying a beautiful, prosperous life filled with vitality.
White Duanni (Bai Duanni) is a rare Yixing Zisha clay prized for its elegant ivory, off-white, or cool pale-gray appearance. This distinctive coloration stems from the raw ore's exceptionally low iron and high aluminum content. When fired at high temperatures (over 1180°C) in an oxidizing atmosphere, trace amounts of residual iron aggregate to create beautiful, naturally occurring speckles across its light, unglazed surface.
Boasting outstanding breathability, it perfectly softens astringent teas. Ideal for delicate white, green, and light oolongs, White Duanni demands meticulous care but rewards dedicated use with a stunning, jade-like patina.
