Angel's Comment:
Tea pitcher is an essential part of tea ceremony; this one is practical and versatile.
Nixing pottery is not glazed but natural firing. The clay is fine and smooth with good air permeability. Nixing pottery is rich in minerals, which produces kiln change during the firing process. The color of each pot may be slightly different during the kiln change. After certain time of raising/yang hu, the beauty of the teapot is easy to appear, the surface will become smoother and warmer with better colour.
This tea pitcher has simple design. It is craved with two lotus leaves and a lotus flower wrapped around it. The edge of the tea pitcher has a concave design, which is convenient for us to hold, not easy to slip, and can also prevent scalding.
