Yixing Teaware 紫砂茶具

Potteries produced in Yixing, west of Taihu (Lake Tai) in Jiangsu Province. The variety of clays available to kilns in this vicinity fire to many different colors, ranging from buff to reddish brown to dark chocolate brown; they also lend themselves to the creation of interesting textures as well as unusual and fanciful shapes. 

Yixing kilns are famous for their unglazed reddish and brownish stoneware teapots, which are often embellished with incised, stamped, or relief decoration. This Yixing teapot is one of the most characteristically Chinese forms of teapot and was extensively copied in Holland, England, and Germany in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
