Ceramic Tea Pot

This vessel was crafted in the style of Heini black clay pots, a form of Yixing tea pots. Made of clay, this tea pot's dark matte pigment can be attributed to the addition of chemical additives like Manganese Oxide before shaping and firing the teapot. The pot features a metal handle secured to the shoulders as well as a lid with a maker's mark on the top.
