Description
The shape of the Jing Lan style of teapot comes from the guardrails of old Chinese wells, both protecting the well from collapsing as well as keeping people from falling into it; in ancient Chinese poetry, it often symbolized ‘homeland’..
This pot is made of rare Jiangpo Ni clay from Huanglong Mountain, and is engraved with exquisite images and words of landscapes. It is a steady, solid pot with a flat bottom, lid, and overall appearance, somewhat square in shape; the handle’s height is close to that of the body, granting a stronger sense of stability when pouring. The spout is short and straight, with the liquid flowing smoothly and quickly. The mouth of the pot underneath the lid is large, suitable for bigger tea leaves and allowing for convenient cleaning; the lid connects tightly as well, guaranteeing an airtight seal, and the button on top looks almost like a small bridge.
The images represent peaceful landscape scenery, while the words read Bai chuan gui hai (百川归海), referring to streams and rivers flowing into the sea.
