Fully handmade gold-painted side-handle Nixing clay pottery

Creation Inspiration

This side‑handle teapot adopts Japanese‑style Kyusu shape, decorated with classic Chinese “Magpie on Plum Blossom” motif. Magpie perches on blooming plum branches. It combines practical side‑handle design with elegant oriental flower‑and‑bird art for your tea ritual.

Craftsmanship

Hand‑made from authentic Qinzhou Nixing clay. Ergonomic side handle for easy pouring, short spout delivers smooth water flow. Classic Nixing carving‑and‑filling technique creates vivid magpie‑and‑plum patterns with golden inlay details. High‑temperature firing produces warm reddish‑brown kiln‑change finish. Glossy patina builds up with long‑term tea nurturing.

Symbolic Meaning

Magpie on plum blossom is an auspicious symbol, representing incoming good news, joy and good fortune. Plum blossom stands for noble and resilient spirit.

Collectible Value

A Note on Uniqueness
