In Taiwan, this low and flattened form is commonly nicknamed \u003cstrong\u003eRou Bing Hu (肉餅壺)\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eRou Bian Hu (肉扁壺)\u003c\/strong\u003e, literally “meat-patty” or “flattened meat” teapot, while the more formal form name belongs to the broader \u003cstrong\u003eBian Hu (扁壺)\u003c\/strong\u003e family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this piece particularly distinctive is its \u003cstrong\u003e“purple inside, red outside” (內紫外紅)\u003c\/strong\u003e construction. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, demand for red-clay teapots from Hong Kong and Taiwan increased sharply. To meet this market preference, some Factory One teapots were made with a \u003cstrong\u003ezisha body coated externally with a fine hongni slip\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating the appearance of a bright red-clay pot while retaining a purple-clay body beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis construction gives the pot a character of its own. The interior behaves more like traditional zisha in brewing, with a somewhat softer and more absorptive interaction with tea, while the exterior has the warmer, brighter visual quality associated with hongni. The contrast between the two materials makes these pots a particularly recognizable product of their era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLi Dandi is a well-recognized name among Factory One collectors, and pieces attributed to her generally command a premium compared with more anonymous production of the same period. This is largely due to the consistently high standard of her workmanship: her pots are known for clean construction, balanced proportions, and refined finishing.\u003c\/strong\u003e In a form as simple and exposed as this low, flattened teapot, that level of control is especially easy to appreciate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe broad, low body provides ample room for tea leaves to open and gives the pot a stable, grounded profile. Combined with its relatively uncommon \u003cstrong\u003e“inner zisha, outer hongni”\u003c\/strong\u003e construction and the maker attribution to Li Dandi, this piece is interesting not only as a practical brewing vessel, but also as a representative example of Factory One craftsmanship and export-market adaptation during the late 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA distinctive Factory One teapot that brings together \u003cstrong\u003egood craftsmanship, an important maker, and one of the more characteristic material experiments of its era\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot suitable for dishwashers or microwaves.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGift Wrapping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree gift wrapping and removal of price tags are available for gifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"YUMM CHA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53771803296010,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/9204\/9674\/files\/IMG_3729.jpg?v=1789864348","url":"https:\/\/www.yumm-cha.com\/products\/factory-no-1-yixing-teapot-83-rare-70s-inner-purple-outer-red-rou-bing-teapot-80ml","provider":"YUMM CHA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
