A small handmade teapot from Jianshui, China, known for its dark purple clay and unglazed finish. The Dragon Egg shape is compact and round, holding about 95 ml, ideal for solo brewing or small gongfu sessions. Jianshui pots are prized for their porous clay that seasons over time, but they require dedicated care and are not dishwasher safe. Compared to Yixing teapots, Jianshui clay is less widely known but offers similar heat retention and a unique aesthetic.

This small handmade teapot is made from Jianshui clay, an iron-rich clay. It holds about 95 ml and is shaped like a dragon egg, a smooth oval form inspired by the symbolism of dragons in Chinese culture. The compact, balanced body suits gongfu-style brewing and is easy to carry when traveling.
The clay is slightly porous, so the teapot breathes during brewing. Its high iron content gives good heat retention and a stable temperature, which supports even extraction. The clay softens astringency and rounds out flavor in oolong, puerh and black teas. It works well with rolled and compressed teas such as Tieguanyin, Da Hong Pao and Shou puerh.
With repeated use, the teapot absorbs trace tea oils and seasons itself. Each pot is handcrafted by Jianshui artisans, so no two are exactly the same. The clay has a soft feel and a warm color.
