\u003cstrong\u003eLongdan (Dragon Egg)\u003c\/strong\u003e is a classic Yixing form, originally inspired by the natural shape of an egg. Unlike a perfect ellipse, a real egg is slightly pointed at one end and flatter at the other. This teapot follows that organic morphology, with the bottom subtly truncated to ensure stability. This particular rendition, however, introduces unique refinements: the body is slightly lower and its lines are softer, bringing it closer to the rounded charm of the \u003cstrong\u003eWendan\u003c\/strong\u003e form. The result is a small pot that balances tradition with fresh, thoughtful design.\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\"\u003eLaoduan Cinnabar Clay\u003cbr\u003e\nRich sand grains, smooth to touch\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\"\u003e100 cc\u003cbr\u003e\nPerfect for solo gongfu\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\"\u003eDragon egg · Short \u0026amp; soft\u003cbr\u003e\nConical spout · Inverted handle\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-label\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-value\"\u003eBamboo hat knob · Small pressed base\u003cbr\u003e\n“Shijing” inscription\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▸ Natural egg silhouette\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe body follows the true egg shape: slightly pointed at the top, round and full below, with a flat cut at the very bottom for stable placement.
