Filed under Less Than $50, Teapots, Yixing Teapots
Because of its unusual flat shape, the Frog Lid yixing teapot resembles the Heart Sutra.
The clay is red-brown. A frog poses alertly on a lily pad lid. The handle resembles a vine, even including minuscule thorns.
The vine motif continues in the spout, where the artist has carved a tendril. This teapot is about as cute as it can be.
Diameter: 4.5″, H 2.75″ Vol. 5 oz.

Red Moon Yixing Teapot

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.

Twin Knob Yixing teapot is designed by the Red & Green Company.
Twin Knob’s handle is unusual with a San Francisco Like Vertical Handle teapot.
Two pieces of the handle intersect, with the outside piece wrapping over the inner one.
The finial’s design carries on the “twin” motif.
An unexpected feature of this chocolate brown teapot is the subtle touch of orange brown at the tips of the handle and spout. Twin Knob is at the same time a distinctive and understated Chinese teapot.

Lotus Seeds & Frog Teapot

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.

Pagoda Yixing Teapot

This “Pagoda” Yixing teapot is exceptional for its trapazoid light brown body and its charcoal lid, finial, handle, and spout.
Its second distinction is the wave-like lid and lip with an appropriately wavy finial. The spout and handle feature straight edges as counterpoints to the wave design.
The body of the teapot is textured with very fine diagonal lines running in one direction from the lip to the bottom. Pagoda is an exquisitely understated and intriguing piece.

Yin Yang Yixing Chinese Teapot

Filed under Featured Articles, Less Than $50, Popular Teapots, Teapots, Yixing Teapots
The yin yang illustrates the traditional Chinese recognition of opposites and the union of opposites in objects or phenomena: light and dark, man and woman, summer and winter, heaven and earth.
In place of a finial, the top of this very attractive teapot features two rounded openings that complement the overall yin yang design. The handle is flaired at the top, and the spout is separated and then rejoined, again bringing to mind the philosophy of yin and yang.
Eight sand-colored bars on the shoulder appear identical at a glance but are actually different patterns. The teapot is a dark, earthy brown accented with the sand-colored bars.
