Han Tile Teapot - Panda # 96137

The Han tile teapot has a broad, low body, rounded loop handle, short angled spout, and close-fitting lid. Its dark surface carries a raised panda among bamboo, while the wide opening makes adding leaves and rinsing convenient during gongfu brewing.

Hanwa means Han tile, referring to the roof-tile profile that inspires this compact teapot form. Chinese teapots are used to infuse leaves, then pour the liquor into cups or a fairness pitcher at the tea table.

This piece is made in China from dark pottery, with reddish-brown relief accents highlighting the carved decoration and patterned lid rim. Rinse with warm water after use, wipe dry, and avoid abrasive cleaning that could dull the surface.
