  • Description: This Three-Legged Ding Teapot is fashioned from Tuan Ni (a blend of native clay and zisha clay). Its glaze evokes the coveted secret-color porcelain of the Tang Dynasty kilns, displaying rich copper-gold tones for a look that is both ancient and exquisitely refined. Historically challenging to fire successfully in large sizes, surviving antique pieces of this form are exceptionally rare. This teapot captures that treasured essence.
