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.
