Here's a Yi Xing teapot that melds the traditional with the modern. Traditional Chinese characters for Double Happiness, Xi, are carved into a pattern on a square-shaped pot that begs to be called "funky"! A great choice for the contemporary person with traditional tastes for excellently brewed tea. This fortunate teapot was handcrafted in Yixing and is true to its roots in Chinese culture, which date back to the Wanli period (1573-1619 AD). These beautiful teapots, simple and unpretentious, are praised by Chinese and Westerners alike as the best vessels available for brewing tea. The special clay, composed of coarse particles of kaolin, quartz, and mica, with high concentrations of iron and silicon, allows the tea to breath and actually enhances the tea's aroma. It is also a great decoration for your house, with the added ability of becoming a useful conversation piece. A great gift for anyone, including YOU! To learn more about Yixing teapots, click here.
