This large scoop style teapot has the typical wide base and is great for brewing large leaf teas or chunks of puer cakes while providing lots of room to open up. Three rounded feet keep the pot elevated above your tea table or saucer. A short spout makes it easy to control pour speed.

Although smooth to the touch, close inspection of the purple zi ni clay reveals a finely grained, speckly red-and-purple pattern to the clay, making it a warmer tone than most zi ni pots.
