Kännchen Chaozhou Li Hu
Small handmade Chaozhou teapot by Cai Yujian. Volume approx. 90ml This teapot is made from a blend of Tian Ni and Shan Kuang, two local clay types from Chaozhou. About the shape Li Hu - the "Pear Teapot" - is inspired by the shape of a pear: narrow at the top, round and gracefully curved at the bottom. Today, it is considered one of the most important traditional teapot forms in Chaozhou culture. The rounded base allows the tea to unfold fully, while the narrowing top helps retain the fragrance. Its refinement lies in the balance of its proportions: only through precise wheel-throwing does it become elegant and refined, never bulky or heavy in appearance.
