The phoenix motif is one of the decorative patterns on ancient bronze ware. The divine phoenix is a very traditional Chinese motif. In mythology, it is the king of birds, the most beautiful of all feathered creatures, and is followed by hundreds of other birds when it flies, thus revered as the king of birds. In the minds of the ancients, the phoenix was an auspicious bird. It was prevalent from the Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty.
The Shuowen Jiezi (a dictionary of Chinese characters) states: "The phoenix is a divine bird. Tian Lao said: 'The phoenix has the appearance of a swan in front and a deer behind, a snake's neck and a fish's tail, cheekbones and forehead like a mandarin duck, dragon patterns on its back, a tortoise's back, a swallow's jaw and a chicken's beak, and all five colors are present. It comes from the land of virtuous gentlemen in the east, soars beyond the four seas, passes Kunlun, drinks from the Dipu River, washes its feathers in the Ruoshui River, and never rests in the Fengxue Cave. When it is seen, the world is at peace.'"
This teapot has an antique design, with a large lacquer handle; a vermilion and gold lacquer handle; and an old rattan handle; an elegant object for the tea room.

凤鸟纹，古代青铜器纹饰之一。神凤，是最传统的中国纹样，在神话传说中，为群鸟之长，是羽虫中最美者，飞时百鸟随之，尊为百鸟之王。在古人的心中，凤是吉祥之鸟。盛行于商代至西周早期。
《说文》四云：“凤，神鸟也。天老曰：‘凤之象也，鸿前麐后，蛇颈鱼尾，颧颡鸳思，龙文龟背，燕颌鸡喙，五色备举。出于东方君子之国，翱翔四海之外，过昆仑，饮砥朴，濯羽弱水，莫宿风穴，见则天下安宁’。”
