    Description

    This is a beautiful & special teapot and tea cups set made in a small village in Chine. This set is Yixing Zhuni "Dahongpao" Purple Cla.

Making sets like these highly valuable. Zhuni is a "cinnabar" version of this purple clay. Zisha teapots retain the tea's flavor - they also retain heat and keep the tea warm longer.

Excellent condition, this set has no chips or cracks. Approximate sizes:
