Wide-Mouth Wendan Teapot
120 cc — Cinnabar clay · Classic literati form with modern practicality
The Wendan shape, one of the most beloved traditional forms in Yixing pottery, originated in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Its name comes from the Wendan pomelo of Fujian, admired for its plump, harmonious silhouette. This piece faithfully revives the wide-mouth Wendan interpretation passed down from the legendary master Shi Dabin, blending ancient elegance with contemporary ease.
