Product description
During the 1980s and 1990s, the growing demand for Yixing teapots across regions like Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Japan led to the rise of many small workshops outside of the state-run Factory One. While these non-factory teapots were not made under the official “Yixing Zisha Craft Factory,” many still used high-quality, locally sourced clay, and were crafted with solid skills and traditional sensibilities.
This teapot is one such piece. It was likely produced in the late 1980s for export to Taiwan. Though not from Factory One, it reflects the spirit of that golden era, when clay quality and craftsmanship were still held to a high standard, especially compared to many mass-market pieces today.
This teapot has been slightly nurtured, resulting in an elegant matte finish. A unique stamp mark is visible inside the teapot, and the bottom features a distinctive "inversed" character "溪", which means "the stream".
Care Instructions
Not suitable for dishwashers or microwaves.
Gift Wrapping
Free gift wrapping and removal of price tags are available for gifts.
