The work utilizes carving, sculpting, pinching, and pasting techniques on the teapot body to vividly portray the spirit of a pine tree that endures harsh cold and frost. The teapot is shaped like a segment of a pine tree stump, upright and strong. The bark, covered with knots and scars, reflects a resilient and vigorous vitality. The spout, handle, and knob are robust and dynamic, with winding pine branches achieving a finely detailed effect. The overall color of the piece is calm and without any hint of harshness.

The artist accurately captures the inner essence of the pine, following its natural form and carefully constructing the design, resulting in such a remarkable and successful masterpiece.

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.
