Bamboo Collection consists of teapots that are highly specialized in craftsmanship and uniquely artistic in looks. The teapot’s body is hand-carved into intricate 'bamboo threads.' Through multiple procedures, the bamboo strips are crafted with uniform thickness and an interwoven texture, mimicking real bamboo weaving.

The Shi Piao (石瓢) teapot is one of the most iconic forms in Yixing teaware, with origins tracing back to the Song Dynasty. One side of the teapot features a finely hand-painted scene of a tranquil riverside village, complete with pavilions, lush greenery, and distant mountains—all rendered in soft, harmonious tones. The reverse side is embellished with hand-painted Chinese calligraphy, capturing the poetic sentiment of returning home through pastoral landscapes.

This bamboo edition is crafted from aged Wuni clay from Huanglong Mountain, one of our signature premium clays.

"Rolex" of Yixing Teapots

Yixing is renowned not only for its Zisha teapots but also for its abundance of bamboo, making it no surprise that 'bamboo weaving' techniques are often showcased on Yixing teapots. Bamboo-weaving Yixing teapots are entirely crafted by artisans using nothing more than a carving knife, meticulously sculpting the 'bamboo threads' bit by bit. The process demands absolute focus and can only be undertaken when the artisan is in optimal physical and mental condition, as the slightest mistake could cause the 'bamboo threads' to break, rendering all previous efforts wasted. Such intricate craftsmanship is truly a 'ballet on the edge of a blade.' It is, therefore, no exaggeration to call the bamboo-weaving teapot the Rolex of all Yixing teapots.
