Fengyin's pear skin teapot

Shu Fenfyin, a senior craftmaster of Yixing, made a small teapot with an overhead handle. The Teapot has a shape of a small pear with poker dots of yellow clay decorating the body work. The clay used is a type of purplish clay with a slight tint of red.

The name engraved on the cover of the pot is Fengyin. As there many potters with the name of Fengyin, a good guest if Shu Fengyin as the teapot was acquired quite sometime ago. The other potters with the name Fengyin are younger in age.
