🔍 Provenance / Maker Notes:
Yixing teapots have been prized since the Ming dynasty for their ability to enhance tea’s natural flavour. The unglazed clay absorbs subtle flavours over time, and each pot becomes uniquely seasoned. The base seal indicates this is likely a studio-made piece — hand-finished, not mass-produced, and with fine craftsmanship.
