A Fan-shaped dark terracotta teapot, enameled decorated with a fish among aquatic plants. Mark at the bottom.
This elaborate teapot differs from the classic models of the Yixing production which usually do not employ enamel decoration. Made using the prestigious clay extracted from Lake Tai, renowned since ancient times for its finesse and variety of color, Yixing teapots are the favorite of Chinese tea lovers who prescribe their use especially for puer infusions, the brewed tea from Yunnan.
