Aladdin’s Teapot
Yixing teapots come from the Yixing region located 120 miles northwest of Shanghai. They possess an astonishing history dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Artisans making Yixing teapots must have served a long apprenticeship under the guidance of established masters. They receive rigorous training in all aspects of their craft before mastering their techniques. Artisans utilize purple clay which contains natural minerals to create beautiful products of various colors.

Contemporary teapot Yixing “Red Moon” is a wide cylindrical shaped teapot in very dark brown (the body of the pot and the top) and orange red (the flat upper portion of the pot).
The teapot design is distinctive because the top is flush with the upper area of the pot and what is normally a raised finial is actually a circular indentation that permits the top to be removed.
The handle is circular. This is a lovely yixing teapot, strikingly understated with a contemporary look.

Filed under Blue, Featured Articles, Figurine Teapots, Less Than $100, Popular Teapots, Yixing Teapots
This is a most clever and unusual teapot. The finial is a life-like tan frog resting on a lily-pad but poised to jump.
The rounded rear of this bluish green teapot resembles a nut. The flat front presents an array of seed-like brown beads that move and rattle.
The spout has leaf detail, and the buckle at the top of the handle is a tiny brown bud. This extraordinary piece stands on “feet” of nuts and a vine whose tendril extends to the leafy spout. The Lotus Seeds and Frog teapot is a wonderful work of the artist’s imagination.
