Qin Xun's Zhaozhuang Aged Zhuni Clay Shuiping teapot

Crafted by Qin Xun, this Zhaozhuang Aged Zhuni Shuiping Teapot boasts a soft, lustrous vermilion hue and a dense, fine-grained sandy texture. Embodying the essence of Yuanqi (round-shaped teapot), it features elegantly curved lines with a bulbous, sphere-like belly that looks plump and smooth. The transition from the base to the shoulder is natural and fluid, as harmonious and seamless as the motion of celestial bodies.

The straight spout delivers a forceful, steady stream of water and cuts off cleanly without drips. The spout and handle are perfectly symmetrical in position and length, achieving a state of "dynamic balance". The domed compressed lid curves gently upward; its edge echoes the rim both internally and externally, top and bottom. The small, round knob complements the "roundness motif" of the whole teapot. With its plain, unadorned form ditching excessive decorations, the teapot radiates a coherent, unified charm from tip to toe.
