This teapot features a dragon sitting on the lie, phoenix beautifully carving on one side of the body and 龙凤呈祥 on the other side. "龙凤呈祥 Long Feng Cheng Xiang" translates to "dragon and phoenix bring prosperity" or "dragon and phoenix auspiciousness" in English. It is a traditional Chinese phrase symbolising harmony, prosperity, and good fortune, often associated with marriage or significant celebrations.Made from aged purple clay, the teapot has a deep, steady color that acquires a rich, aged character with long-term use and express the delgance and prosperity of these mythical creatures. 

The body of the teapot is classically full, supported by three sturdy legs. Accompanied by four cups, it showcases the quality of a complete set—truly a piece not to be missed.

Preparation Before Use
Yixing Teapots should be prepared before using the first time. This is called "opening the pot". It removes the dust/sand from firing the teapot.

We recommend rinsing the teapot under warm water two or three times, then wipe gently inside and outside of the pot with a new non-scratch sponge scourer to remove sediment trapped in the unglazed clay. 

Then, filling the teapot with boiling water, wait for 10 minutes, empty the pot; repeat one more time, the new Yixing teapot is ready for use.

Daily cleaning and seasoning

Empty the leaves after each use, rinse with boiling water, drain, wipe water away with clean soft cloth, and then lid off, place the body upside, let it air dry for one or two days. 

Do not ever use any detergent or soap than water to clean the pot. 

Do not let the potcome into contact with other strong smell such as cooking fume, cigarette smoke, perfume.
