A 'Dragon egg' shaped Teapots made by 'Fanggu' clay (Antique-Style Clay) native to Jingdezhen, is a type of Porcelain clay that leaves a natural almost leathery glaze. The color changes is not formed by extra glazing. Instead, it is due to the metallic content in the clay material, which is reduced and brought out during high-temperature firing. 

The dragon egg form is one of our favorite: playful and functional, often smaller sized , suitable for one-two person Gongfucha. A Qing Dynasty imitation of Dragon Egg teapot. The spout is short and thick, allowing for a smooth pour. The ear-shaped handle is large and drooping, making it comfortable to hold.

Each piece is one of its kind and handmade and wood fired by befriended ceramist Youning studio in Jingdezhen. 

Explore essence of wood-fired ceramics from Jingdezhen with our exclusive 'Raw' collection of handcrafted teaware. The 'Raw' series focuses on the naked firing technique — a traditional method where the ceramics are exposed directly to open flames without any glaze. This unique process means that each piece's exquisite textures are formed naturally by the ash from the firewood, giving every item a distinct natural beauty.

Each teaware piece undergoes high-temperature firing of over 1300 degrees Celsius for three days, ensuring its texture and durability. Crafted from local Jingdezhen kaolin clay, these pieces are not only safe and healthy but also boast excellent breathability after being subjected to such high temperatures.
