This pot was "half-handmade" in Dingshu Shan from authentic Zisha clay. ("Yixing" is the name of the large city nearby, while Dingshu Shan, or Dingshu Mountain, is the location whe re the clay is mined and generally worked, and is the location of the old Dragon Kiln, where all Yixing, or "Zisha" as it's generally known in China, used to be fired. "Half-handmade" is the term used to describe teapots whose body was formed using a wooden mold, while the outer detail-work was done entirely by hand. In the west, this would be considered "hand-made.")Material: Yixing Zisha ClayVolume: 190mlWidth: 3.25"/8.25 cmHeight: 3.75"/9.5 cm Show more
