Vintage “Shuiping” Style Teapot | Red Clay | Marked “Chun Quan Tang” (春泉堂)
This elegant teapot presents a classic Shuiping (水平) shape with smooth, clean curvature and a render in warm red‑clay. The bottom bears the mark “春泉堂” (“Chun Quan Tang”), identifying it as a workshop or commissioned‑production piece rather than an official factory model. While the exact origins of “Chun Quan Tang” remain unverified, this style and mark appear in the market as private or semi‑commercial works from the later 20th century.
Crafted in red clay, the body displays the fine texture, moderate thermal responsiveness and rich evolving patina that red‑clay enthusiasts appreciate. The smooth lid fit, single‑hole strainer and neatly proportioned handle/spout system point to careful workmanship, making it suitable for frequent Gongfu use.
Given its likely workshop provenance, the piece holds dual value: as a functional brewer with fine material and as a tasteful vintage work which nods to the broader world of Yixing teaware beyond the major factories. Ideal for fragrant oolongs, lightly roasted teas or any tea where clarity and aroma matter.
