Xiaomilai (about 110cc) naked-fired with natural plant ash glaze, golden tea foam effect, entirely handmade Ni Xing pottery

Creation Inspiration
This teapot embraces pure simplicity — no carvings, no decorations, just a perfectly round, plump form. Inspired by the traditional Chinese “Duo Qiu” (gathered ball) teapot, the body, lid and knob are all round, creating a soft, harmonious silhouette from top to bottom. The artisan smoothed away every sharp edge, making it comfortable to hold and a quiet companion for every tea moment.

Craftsmanship
Made of authentic Qinzhou Nixing clay. Hand-thrown into a full, round body with a wide opening for easy tea loading and cleaning. The short straight spout pours smoothly and cuts off cleanly; the loop handle fits the palm comfortably and stays cool. The lid fits tightly with a small round knob. No carving — pure form and clean lines. High-temperature firing creates a deep, warm antique-bronze kiln-change finish. Grows increasingly glossy and smooth with daily use.

Symbolic Meaning
The all-round shape symbolizes completeness, harmony and tolerance. No sharp edges means a gentle, accommodating way of being. The plain surface represents returning to simplicity and purity. It wishes you a fulfilling life, harmonious family, and an open, generous heart.

Collectible Value
A classic, practical Nixing pottery round teapot. Plain pots are the truest test of an artisan’s skill — proportion, line and pouring performance must stand on their own. The timeless round shape works with all tea types and fits any tea table. The deep bronze kiln-change improves with nurturing. A hardworking everyday teapot that reveals the true beauty of Nixing clay and hand-forming craftsmanship.

A Note on Uniqueness

Each piece is handcrafted and kiln-transformed — no two are identical. Subtle variations in color, texture, and size are the signature of genuine Nixing clay: your piece is truly one of a kind. Photos are for reference; please allow for slight differences from the images.
