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.

The belly of the pot is composed of six panels. Two include Chinese script. A different panel displays elegant birds, and another reveals a house with mountains in the background.

The birds and the script of one panel are tan and delicately painted on the clay. The mountains and second rendition of script are etched into the clay.

The spout, handle, finial, and vertical borders of the panels are in a bamboo motif. Fine detail is the hallmark of Bamboo and Birds.

The handle and spout resemble branches. Small, expressive frogs, delightful in their detail, rest on the finial and the spout.

This touch of whimsy contributes greatly to the appeal of Frogs on Log.

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.
