This stunningly beautiful 180ml teapot was hand-made in Yixing, home of the famed Zisha clay from which it's made.  Unlike most modern Yixing, this piece was wood-fired in the fashion of the old Dragon Kiln, where all Yixing was originally fired.  This technique requires greater skill, as the temperature is uneven, which makes the clay far more prone to breakage as the clay contracts and expands.  These variations in temperature produce a rougher form of Yixing, with stunningly beautiful color variations ranging from copper to black to teal.  

As the patterns that adorn each wood-fired piece are completely unique, the coloration of the pot you receive will differ slightly from that shown in the photographs.
