Made from \u003cstrong\u003ezini (紫泥)\u003c\/strong\u003e and holding approximately \u003cstrong\u003e200ml\u003c\/strong\u003e, it combines the upright presence of the traditional Gongdeng form with restrained literati-style decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gongdeng, literally “palace lantern,” takes its inspiration from the balanced, architectural proportions of traditional Chinese lanterns. This piece has a tall, rounded body set on a defined foot, with a domed lid and clean horizontal lines around the mouth. The proportions are substantial without feeling heavy, while the simple handle and rising spout keep the overall silhouette composed and elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne side of the body is engraved with the two characters \u003cstrong\u003e“Qing Gong” (清供)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The term is difficult to capture fully in English, but can be understood as \u003cstrong\u003e“refined offerings”\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003e“objects for quiet appreciation.”\u003c\/strong\u003e In traditional Chinese literati culture, \u003cem\u003eqinggong\u003c\/em\u003e referred to elegant objects arranged on a scholar’s desk or in the studio — flowers, fruit, miniature landscapes, incense vessels, antiques and other modest objects appreciated for their beauty and contemplative quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opposite side develops this theme visually, with an engraved arrangement of \u003cstrong\u003ebamboo, scholar’s rocks and a small vessel\u003c\/strong\u003e, imagery strongly associated with the aesthetics of the scholar’s studio. Rather than decoration for decoration’s sake, the composition evokes a way of living in which simple objects, carefully observed, become part of cultivating taste and tranquillity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pot is fitted with a \u003cstrong\u003eball-shaped multi-hole filter\u003c\/strong\u003e behind the spout. This provides a broad filtration area and helps maintain a smooth, controlled pour while keeping larger leaves inside the chamber, a practical detail particularly useful in a pot of this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe zini clay gives the pot a versatile brewing character, with good heat retention and a balanced interaction with the liquor. At around \u003cstrong\u003e200ml\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is well suited to shared sessions and works especially comfortably with \u003cstrong\u003eoolong, yancha, aged teas and puer\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA contemporary Yixing teapot in which form and decoration speak the same language: \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced, quiet and cultivated\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the idea of \u003cem\u003eqinggong\u003c\/em\u003e turning the vessel itself into an object of everyday contemplation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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":53774608204042,"sku":null,"price":480.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/9204\/9674\/files\/IMG_3829.jpg?v=1789899325","url":"https:\/\/www.yumm-cha.com\/products\/master-made-yixing-teapot-90-fully-handmade-gongdeng-teapot-180ml","provider":"YUMM CHA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
