This Zhuni Teapot was handcrafted by Cai Songkai, a renowned Zhuni teapot master from Chaozhou.
The design follows the “Shuiping” (Level) teapot concept, first created by Ming dynasty artisans. The idea centers on perfect balance — a rounded, full body with a stable center of gravity, allowing the teapot to remain level whether it floats or sinks when filled with water. This reflects the Eastern philosophy of harmony and balance — “peace through equilibrium, virtue through harmony.”
Structurally, the spout, lid rim, and handle top all align on the same horizontal plane, with the spout, lid, and handle forming a straight line. This precise geometry prevents external water from entering the teapot and ensures stability when placed in a bowl — hence the name “Shuiping Teapot.”
The artist’s surname or signature is engraved on the inside of the lid and the handle.
This teapot shape is particularly suitable for high-aroma teas, especially Oolong teas such as Phoenix Dancong, Tieguanyin, and Dong Ding Oolong.

Capacity: 80 mL

What is Tuanhua?

Tuanhua, also known as “ball-flower patterns,” doesn’t refer to any specific flower. Instead, it’s a decorative style where flowers, fruits, and geometric elements are arranged within a circular outline, forming a compact “ball-like” motif.

Often paired with colors like white, black, and celadon white, they create a light, balanced visual effect. These motifs are commonly used on porcelain, clothing, and furniture, symbolizing reunion, prosperity, and completeness, carrying blessings of good fortune.
