Porcelain Pear Teapot

This charming, pyriform teapot is an ideal all-rounder, with a shape and height good for balanced flavor and a material allowing use with disparate types of tea. The white Dehua porcelain has been given a golden-tinged glaze, and attention in the construction has produced a balanced weight, fine-edged spout, and a built-in ball filter for keeping smaller leaves from clogging the spout. It is altogether an excellent alternative to a gaiwan for those wishing for a flexible vessel, but preferring the form and handling of the teapot.
