Purple Pottery Side Handle Teapot – Kungfu Style

From the tradition of Chinese purple pottery — one of the four famous ceramics of China — comes this side-handle teapot, shaped for the kungfu tea ritual. The clay, rich in iron, gives the pot its characteristic metal-like sheen and resonant sound when tapped.

The side handle placement is traditional, allowing the pour to be controlled with precision. Each pot is shaped and finished by hand, with variations that mark it as an individual piece rather than a mass-produced object.
