 This item is currently sold out and available for pre-order. It will be dispatched to you in 2-4 weeks after you place your order. 

This gorgeous Yixing teapot is made from genuine forty-year-old zisha (purple-sand) clay. They are all handmade by Master Chen Ju Fang of Master Zhou’s “Wu Xing Shan Fang” studio. 

This is an "arhat" shaped teapot. Arhats are Buddhist saints. The pot is said to resemble a saint seated in meditation, especially if you cover the handle and spout.

The original pot of this shape was made by Chen Mingyuan, who is a Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) master and one of the most famous Yixing masters of all time. This shape is good for all types of tea. This listing is for the teapot only. The last two photos are to demonstrate how the teapot looks with the antique cups. 

The volume of this teapot is 100ml.
