Yixing is known for making interestingly shaped teapots, from their four sided square teapots to their octagonal pumpkins.While those shapes have gotten so popular that anyone on eBay can find them for cheap, this pumpkin-inspired design is a breath of fresh air.
The clay is a soft luscious zini that feels good under the palm, and will likely patina quickly with use.The larger body creates space for a decent amount of tea, making it a great party pot.
The over all subtle design of this piece won us over, even the incredibly fine line where the lid meets the body is expertly engineered.
