Mangosteen pots




Mangosteens

 

The fruit mangosteen is seldom appeared in Yixing teapot design. The reason could be that this fruit is not popular in China and many potters have no idea how the teapot will look like when crafted into the shape of a mangosteen. As you know, most potters would rather like to copy existing teapot design or modify somebody's design.

 

 

Here are two mangosteen teapots crafted by craftsmaster Zhou Juefang. They are cute and lovely. Don't you think so?
