Affectionately referred to in Taiwan as a “Hong Tu Guan” (Red Earth Pot), this teapot was made in the spring of the Gengchen (庚辰) year (2000) . Crafted from fine red clay, the body has a smooth and earthy finish, with a distinctive dragon-head lid knob, a classic symbol of protection and spiritual authority in Chinese culture.
One side of the teapot is inscribed with the poetic line:
“山靜似太古，日長如小年” “ The mountains rest as if from ancient times; the days stretch long like a peaceful year.”This verse evokes a timeless stillness and a slow, expansive rhythm, echoing the very spirit of tea. On the opposite side, a bamboo grove is elegantly carved, reinforcing the literary ideal of purity, grace, and quiet strength.
The base is inscribed with:
“庚辰春月，製於蜀山” “Made in the Spring of the Gengchen Year, at Shushan”
A rare dated mark that adds character and traceability to the teapot's history.This tea pot has been nurtured by the collector. Its fine red clay can preserve the heat while reflect the aroma from the tea leaves, making it well-suited for refreshing, floral teas such as the light high mountain oolongs, as well as aromatic oolong teas like Dancong and Yancha.
