Enchanting Beauty Xiantao Teapot

The Xishi teapot is one of the classic teapot shapes that showcases vivid subject matter. Through generations of inheritance, purple clay artists have adorned practical purple clay teapots with enduring tales and sentiments.

Carefully crafted from selected raw black clay, the Xishi teapot exhibits infinite charm with its subtle variations. The teapot's refined lines and structure form the Xishi's curvaceous silhouette, with smooth and rounded contours. The body and lid are seamlessly connected, presenting a truncated lid design. The knob is flat and round, resembling a nipple shape. The bottom converges inward, forming a slanted bottom shape. The spout is short and stout, while the handle tilts upward, commonly referred to as a "reversed handle." The entire teapot is skillfully constructed using hidden joints, showcasing the mastery of the teapot artist.

The Xishi teapot has long been treasured as a teapot for personal use, appreciation, and play. It embodies the grace and beauty of women. However, those who truly understand teapots know that balance is essential. Overdoing it can fall into superficiality, making it less worthy of appreciation.
