The Yuan Gu Aged Zini Teapot (100ml) is a refined small-capacity gongfu pot created by Zhang Yicheng Studio, known for its precise form, clean lines, and balanced brewing performance.

Crafted using Aged Zini (老紫泥) — a traditional Yixing clay rested and matured over years — this teapot offers excellent porosity, heat retention, and aroma-enhancing properties. The clay’s deep, earthy tone and subtle grain reflect both its age and its quality.

Shaped with a half-handmade process, the body is formed with traditional techniques while key structural elements are hand-finished by the artist, ensuring accuracy, spirit, and artisanal character.

With its compact 100ml size, the Yuan Gu teapot is ideal for solo gongfu sessions, high-end oolong, dancong, puerh, and collectors who appreciate authentic Yixing workmanship.

It takes about 7-15 days to USA, Europe and Australia. To other countries, please refer to the actual logistics time or consult customer service.
