Li Hu 梨壺, or Pear shape is one of the classic forms of Zisha teaware. Artist Xiao Long Nü puts her own unique twist on the classic form, opting for a minimalist straight spout and wider opening, making it a more versatile teapot suitable for brewing tea leaves small and large.

This Zisha teapot has undergone an additional wood firing, giving the teapot a unique look and finish. The wood firing process is quite unpredictable and the marks created on each pot is completely unique to it.

Usage and care:

Rinse and season the teapot before use. Here's a quick guide to show you how. As the clay is porous and teapot is unglazed, dedicate one tea type per pot (or if you wish to take it to the next level, dedicate only one tea per pot). Hand-wash only with water and NEVER EVER wash with soap or detergent. The last thing you want is soapy suds flavouring your next brew.
