Ceramic tea pots (Taoci Chahu)

Kännchen Chaozhou Da Kou

CPC2
Small handmade Chaozhou teapot by Cai Yujian - Volume approx. 85ml

Da Kou means "large opening" and refers to the wide diameter of the lid.



This teapot is made from a blend of Tian Ni and Shan Kuang, two types of local clay from the Chaozhou region.



About the shape

The name Shui Ping combines the characters for "water" and "level/balanced." Developed in the 16th century during the late Ming Dynasty, the Shui Ping teapot has since become a classic.



Modern Shui Ping teapots are characterized by a low center of gravity, with the handle, spout, and lid knob aligned on a single horizontal line.
