Yuan Kuang Qing Shui Ni Clay “De Zhong” Yixing Teapot
Crafted from premium Qing Shui Ni Clay, this 260cc teapot is designed in the classic De Zhong (德鐘) style, known for its elegant and balanced form. The “De Zhong” design, rooted in the Qing Dynasty, draws inspiration from ancient musical instruments, symbolizing the harmony between etiquette and virtue. The name itself, derived from “Zhongde,” reflects an emphasis on moral character and cultural refinement.
This handmade teapot is made of Yuan Kuang Qing Shui Ni Clay—a cooler shade of red compared to Zhu Ni clay, yet warmer than Zi Ni clay. The fine Qing Shui Ni Clay enhances the tea’s flavor, making each brew a ceremonious experience.
