Here is a teapot made by potter by the name of Master Zhang. He is a nephew of Jiang Rong, a great Yixing master who was famous in designing and making teapots that copied things of nature. She was considered as the best realist in Yixing who could imitate anything from insects to fruits in her designs of teapots. A great potter in Yixing.
This teapot was made by Zhang under the supervision of Jiang Rong, his aunt. The seal of the teapot read "made/supervised by Jiang Rong". Jiang Rong herself had made several chestnut teapots. They are really lovely, just like real chestnuts, yet they can be used to brew a pot of good chinese tea.
