Chaozhou Hand-Thrown Zhuni Shubian Teapot

806 $230.00

This refined teapot is a modern interpretation of the classic Shubian (书扁  Shū biǎn) form, historically described as “broad and flat, with shallow walls and airy volume.” Hand-thrown using pure zhuni clay from Chaozhou, it offers an ideal balance of grace and function for focused gongfu tea sessions.

The gentle curves of the belly flow seamlessly into a low, poised profile. A sword-like spout ensures clean, precise pours, while the lid fits snugly for an excellent air seal and control. The compressed form encourages tea leaves to unfurl evenly, while maintaining a stable, grounded base.

Crafted from fine, dense zhuni clay, this teapot naturally enhances aroma and flavor — bringing out the layered character of Phoenix Dancong, Wuyi rock oolongs, and other expressive teas.
