Dragon Treasure Brewing Vessel # 96158

The Dragon Treasure Brewing Vessel is a sculptural tea pot with a broad, curled spout and a dragon forming the lid finial. Its raised relief gives the body a substantial presence, while the pronounced spout supports controlled pouring during a tea session.

Teapots have long been central to Chinese tea preparation, developing from larger boiling and serving vessels into dedicated brewing forms. This piece is suited to gongfu preparation, where tea is infused repeatedly and poured into cups or a sharing pitcher.

The dark ceramic body is covered with carved clouds, scales and dragons, with warm brown highlights revealing the relief and firing character. Made in China, it should be rinsed with warm water after use and dried fully before storage.
