This Gong Deng (宫灯) Teapot embodies the elegant "Palace Lantern" shape, inspired by the ornate palace lanterns that illuminated imperial households in ancient China. It has a single-hole spout, which is true to ancient Yixing Teapot tradition, with an additional 304 stainless steel mesh filter for smooth flow and easy cleaning.

The teapot is half-handmade from authentic Ben Shan Lv Ni (本山绿泥), a tender clay from Huanglong Mountain with high titanium content and dual-pore structure. Fired twice at 1180°C, it achieves a stable, fine-grained surface with a subtle greenish-gold hue. This composition provides high porosity for flavor refinement, gently mellowing flavors and enhancing sweetness over time—ideal for green, white, and light oolongs. A refined choice for 2-3 person Gong Fu sessions or solo brewing.
