Introduction: The Gourd - shaped Teapot is entirely inspired by the gourd, with charm in every part.
A horizontal line in the middle of the teapot body divides it into two halves. The upper and lower parts face each other, forming a flattened gourd shape. The spout is short and refined, integrating seamlessly with the teapot body, just like the opening of a gourd. The handle is bent into a loop without any adornment, resembling another gourd. On the lid, the knob is shaped like a gourd vine, which is elegant and natural, highlighting the gourd theme with great ingenuity.
Characteristics of the Clay Material: It has a strong earthy aroma, similar to an honest farmer. With long - term use, its unique qualities gradually come to the fore. It undergoes significant changes during the process of use and care, becoming warm, mellow, and solemn. The lines are beautiful and natural, the spout and handle are well - coordinated, and the combination of the body and the slender handle makes it even more elegant.
