It is interesting to notice that one of the lotus buds contains tiny moveable seeds. Around the shoulders there are watermelon seed, water chestnuts, peanuts, and almonds in high relief. Two more almonds are visible on the bottom. Inside the mushroom-shaped lid there is an engraved gourd which bears some Chinese characters that are too indistinct to be identified. The interior of this zisha teapot is plainly decorated, and it feels coarse. The zisha stoneware teapot has a good reputation for boiling excellent tea because it keeps the original taste of tea which will last for a long time. Its popularity corresponds with the tea culture that was in fashion from the mid-Ming dynasty. During the Ming and Qing dynasties the potters in Yixing produced a great number of life-like zisha stoneware teapots. They continue to be produced up to the present day. This piece was originally dated to the Ming dynasty by the dealer. It is in an excellent grade of workmanship."},{"label":"Title","value":"Zisha (purple sand) stoneware teapot"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
