Reduction Firing Yixing Zisha Teapot with Hand Carved Pattern

Reduction Firing:

It is a method of firing pottery where the kiln air intakes and burners are set to restrict or eliminate oxygen in the kiln such that metallic oxides convert to their reduced metallic state. Reduction firings can bring out some wonderful colors in pottery.

Xishi teapot:
It is one of the most famous teapot shapes. This pot is inspired by Xishi, one of the four great classical Chinese beauties. The teapot's body is full and rounded, with rounded lines and smooth, natural transitions.
It is suitable for brewing all kinds of tea, especially coarse and old teas such as black, black, and puerh. Due to the good temperature-gathering properties of the Xishi pot, the aroma and taste of the tea can be fully utilized, making the tea-tasting experience more enjoyable.
