1970s Da Hong Pao Xiao Ying Zisha Teapot

The Smile of Ying Ning
Embrace a masterpiece of classical Ming Dynasty proportions. The "Xiao Ying" (Laughing Cherry) teapot draws its poetic inspiration from Ying Ning, a legendary literary figure known for her pure, uninhibited laughter. The teapot's architecture—characterized by its full-bodied belly, sweeping handle, and subtly bending curves—captures the dynamic, joyful posture of someone doubled over in sweet laughter. It is a vessel that brings profound harmony and warmth to any tea ritual.

The Legendary Pear-Skin Red Clay
This extraordinary piece is forged from highly coveted "Li Pi Da Hong Pao" (Pear-Skin Da Hong Pao) clay, sourced from the shallow yellow stone layers of Huanglongshan and aged since the 1970s. Fired at a demanding 1120-1150°C, this legendary red clay exhibits a striking, natural oiliness and a distinct granular surface reminiscent of a pear's skin. The highly porous, jade-like matrix excels at absorbing tea oils, guaranteeing that the vibrant crimson hue will grow even more luminous and profound with daily use.
