\u003cstrong\u003eThree‑Foot Ruding (Milk‑Nipple)\u003c\/strong\u003e teapot was originally created by the legendary master \u003cstrong\u003eGu Jingzhou\u003c\/strong\u003e in the 1980s, drawing inspiration from ancient bronze vessels and the classic “Eighteen Forms of Mansheng.” The original features a round belly, wide base, short curved spout, loop handle, milk‑nipple knob, and three milk‑nipple feet—hence the name. This rendition by contemporary artisan \u003cstrong\u003eLiu Ye\u003c\/strong\u003e transforms the round form into a \u003cstrong\u003ehexagonal square ware\u003c\/strong\u003e while preserving the essence of Gu’s design. Even more remarkable, it is executed as a \u003cstrong\u003ethin‑wall (bao tai)\u003c\/strong\u003e piece—a rare feat in square forms, where maintaining structural integrity is exceptionally challenging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlights\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-label\"\u003eClay\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-value\"\u003eCinnabar Clay (Zisha)\u003cbr\u003e\nRich brown, classic texture\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-label\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-value\"\u003e180 cc\u003cbr\u003e\nIdeal for solo or double sessions\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-label\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-value\"\u003eGu Jingzhou (1980s)\u003cbr\u003e\nLiu Ye (thin-wall square adaptation)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-label\"\u003eForm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-value\"\u003eHexagonal · Three milk‑nipple feet\u003cbr\u003e\nThin-wall construction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"feature-list\"\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e▸ Gu Jingzhou lineage\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe original round Ruding teapot was a late masterpiece of Gu Jingzhou, blending bronze-age solemnity with literati elegance.
