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.

This Smiling Cherry (笑樱) teapot, crafted from aged Wuni clay from Huanglong Mountain, is a classic design within the Yixing teapot tradition, dating back to the Ming Dynasty. Its name reflects its distinctive form: the body tapers gracefully from top to bottom into a flat, rounded shape with a ring foot. The upward-curving spout and handle lend the teapot a delightful appearance, resembling a gentle smile when viewed in profile.

"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.
