A miniature tree

This is a cute little teapot that was modelled from the trunk of a tree. The clay used is the old zisha red clay. There is another version made from the purplish clay. Alans Museum acquired only the red clay version of this small pot. It is ideal for brewing fine tea but the volume of tea brewed is quite small, not even to quench one's thirst.
