The Bian‑Ying (Flat Cherry) teapot is a timeless rounded form, evolved from the well‑known Xiao‑Ying (Smiling Cherry) shape, refined by master Gu Jingzhou 顾景舟.

Its flattened‑yet‑full body features rich, rounded shoulders that gently taper down toward a neat foot ring. It adopts a tight‑fitted press‑on lid, topped by a small bud‑shaped knob resembling a cherry blossom bud. The elegant three‑bend spout delivers smooth, clean pouring, matched with a gracefully curved flying‑tail handle for comfortable grip.

As a plain, unadorned zisha piece, it follows the golden standard for round teapots: balanced, stable, smooth and well‑proportioned. Though the body is low‑profiled, its silhouette never looks collapsed.

Symbolically, Bian‑Ying carries the wish of peace and ease, with a quiet, humble‑hearted Zen charm.
Well‑suited for ripe Pu‑er, aged white tea, Hong‑Cha and oolong teas.

Capacity: ~260ml

Fully handmade 

Material: Authentic high‑grade Zini, sourced from the famed Huanglong Mountain ore‑seam in Yixing.
Premium Huanglong‑Mountain purple‑sand clay features desirable mineral grains, balanced permeability and wonderful patina‑building properties with repeated tea‑brewing.
