Bamboo Drum 13.5-oz Yixing Teapot

Our 13.5-oz Bamboo Drum Yixing Teapot was hand made in Yixing China using the famous purple clay, zisha clay, that is said to only occur in the Yellow Dragon Cave of Dingshan town in Yixing, China. The shape of the teapot is that of a drum and it is decorated with a bamboo motif. Bamboo is a major recurring theme in Chinese painting, calligraphy and poetry, so it's not unusual to find it as a decoration on Yixing teapots and other Chinese teaware.  It stands as an example of elegance and also denotes moral integrity, resistance, modesty and loyalty. Approximate Capacity: 13.5-oz
