Zhaozhuang Zhuni Clay Pear-shaped Teapot

This small teapot features a smooth, rounded body with a slightly wider base, a gently constricted neck, and a lid shaped like the top of a pear. Its spout is slender, elegant, and of the three-curved style, with a well-proportioned thickness throughout.

Crafted from Zhaozhuang zhuni clay, the teapot reveals a delicate cherry-red hue immediately upon being scalded with hot water, presenting a texture that is dense yet not slippery. As it is used over time, it gradually develops a rich, agate-like luster. With a shrinkage rate of approximately 28-30%, the clay forms the unique, subtly wrinkled water-like texture characteristic of zhuni, endowing the teapot with both a weathered charm and a delicate, vibrant appeal.
