This teapot is so cute. Its round shape is just like a pear, which fits perfectly in the hand. It has a capacity of about 200cc, which is suitable for one or two people to enjoy a pot of tea alone. The natural ash from burning wood gives the lid a warm hue, with a touch of earthy calmness. When you look at it from different angles, you can see a soft sheen gently flowing across the surface. It is suitable for you who likes slow brewing in a small pot and also attaches importance to the shape and feel of the vessel. This teapot is filled with a deep sense of tranquility, and each brewing experience is like a noble ritual. The beauty of life starts with a beautiful teapot. Capacity: 200cc The works of Xiao Pingfan Taofang do not pursue mass production. Each creative product has a unique design. The process of pure hand-kneading or pulling gives life to the work. Each work is unique. The works of Taofang are created by my husband and I together, so there are signatures of "Ping" or "Fan". Large works will have the signature of "Xiao Pingfan Taofang", which is unique!! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567264550_68d52fdae8_b.jpg **1. What is the origin of the work?** We mostly use American soil, Japanese soil, and Taiwanese Miaoli soil for our creations. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51565549867_2d00e9c5fb_b.jpg **2. What is the wood-fired process?** American clay, Japanese clay, and Miaoli clay are mixed in different proportions. The production process is purely hand-kneading (not a clay machine) to slowly shape the clay. After the basic shape is formed, the lines of the clay are trimmed, and then it is polished to complete the initial clay. After entering the kiln, it undergoes a non-stop firewood burning process with natural longan wood and acacia wood for five days and four nights, raising the temperature to over 1,200 degrees. During this period, natural ash will adhere to the work, forming a special ash glaze; at the same time, the fire patterns in the kiln will also flow between the works, forming beautiful orange-red or blue-purple fire pattern traces. After five days and four nights of falling ash and fire patterns, it takes another week of cooling to form a beautiful work! Each work is unique! The high temperature of the traditional wood-fired method gives the work a far-infrared effect, which is very suitable for brewing tea! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51566330016_d46035182e_b.jpg **3. What should VIPs pay attention to?** The color of the product may vary slightly due to the light source of the photography. The work is purely handmade and will definitely leave traces of the texture of the work. The work may also have slight differences due to the firing process, and it is normal for the rim to be crooked or there to be some scratches during the production. It can definitely be used normally, please understand!
