A small teapot for the Gong Fu Cha, coming from Yixing (Yixing Zishahu), 150ml.Fanggu stands for imitating antiquity. Ruyi means literally as desired and denotes an object bringing luck and blessing in ancient China, which goes back to the profane backscratchers.

This clay has an extremely good plasticity, stability and little shrinkage during firing. That allowed the artists of the Ming period to create many of the forms that are still common today.Due to the medium porosity of the pot, many teas have a more elegant, softer taste. It is well suited for all darker teas.This pot is made of Yuankuang Zhongcaoqing, quite a rare ore, especially if it was mined from Huangluoshan, as it is the case with this pot.
