This is a gongfu teapot made of pure white jade porcelain in Jingdezhen, China. The porcelain is thin, strong and translucent, with an even translucency that lets it glow softly when lit from within. It holds approximately 145 ml.
The teapot has a round, slightly elongated "Dragon Egg" shape, a name that dates back to the Ming dynasty. It has a short, straight, cone-shaped spout that pours smoothly and cleanly. A bead-shaped knob on the lid echoes the egg form.
The interior is smooth. The teapot suits oolongs and delicate teas that call for a clean, neutral vessel.
