A pot of the 60s

This is a teapot made in the 60s. I do not see a lot of such pots in the market back then, so I figured this pot is not one of those teapots that were mass produced by the factory for the consumer market.


It may be a round pot, but it is quite different from the other round pots in the way the sprouts, lid and handle were designed and positioned on the body of the pot. Hence not all round pots look the same.

Traditional teapots are either round or square in shapes, but these basic shapes can take many more forms depending on the creativity of the potters. It is a famous saying in Yixing that round doesn't mean one style and square is not limited to only one shape.

A romantic song to share:
