🧘 Cultural & Craft Legacy
大口之式 | The Wide-Mouth Tradition
The large-caliber teapot form has long been favored by Gongfu practitioners for its practicality and expressive brewing potential. Its open mouth allows for generous leaf expansion, easy rinsing, and full aroma release—ideal for teas that bloom with space and breath.
铭文之意 | The Meaning of Inscription
The vertical engraving on the teapot’s body draws from the literati tradition, where calligraphy and ceramics were inseparable. Whether quoting poetry, philosophy, or the potter’s own reflections, such inscriptions transform the vessel into a medium of thought and presence.
紫砂之根 | The Root of Zisha
Yixing Zisha clay is more than a material—it is a cultural root. Sourced from the mineral-rich hills of Jiangsu, this raw ore clay is prized for its breathability, thermal stability, and ability to enhance tea’s flavor and aroma. The Inkroot teapot honors this legacy with its unglazed, living surface that matures with every brew.

Note:
–About the parcel:
If You Receive The Package Broken, Please Don’t Open Dispute and Leave Negative Feedback, Please Contact Us Firstly, We Will Deal With It, Don’t Worry !
–About the product:
The product may have certain differences from the photos due to ambient light, camera parameters, screen color, etc. Please refer to the physical object you receive.
The product size and capacity are manually measured, and there may be certain errors. It is for reference only. Since the batches of fired are different and accompanied by thermal expansion and contraction, please refer to the physical object received.
–About ceramics:
The porcelain you bought has black spots/pinholes because the raw materials contain iron and other minerals naturally formed after high temperature firing. The qualified products selected after quality inspection will not affect the use. However, if you remove the black spot pinholes, you must use chemical raw materials to remove them, which will greatly harm the good porcelain itself.
–About texture:
The textures formed by high-temperature daily tea utensils are naturally randomly formed in a kiln that passes through more than 1,000 degrees, and cannot be controlled or avoided. Although the nodes or textures naturally formed by bamboo and wood products during the growth of trees are avoided as much as possible during the processing process, they cannot be manually screened and removed. This situation is not a product defect.
The package contains: 1 x Teaware
