This handmade Yixing zisha teapot shape Pan Hu <潘壶> is named after the surname of Pan Shicheng, a wealthy merchant from Guangdong during the Qing dynasty.

The proportions of the teapot body are harmonious and sleek, with exquisite craftsmanship.

The belly of the pot is rounded and gradually tapers down to the bottom.

The shoulder shrinks into a short neck, which is plump and full of temperament, but not elegant.

The lid of the pot is raised, and the knob of the lid is consistent with the body of the pot, complementing each other.

The simple and natural shape is highly practical, and the combination of dots, lines, and planes creates an atmosphere of grandeur, conciseness, and liveliness in the artistic style, making it a classic masterpiece.

The shape of "Pan Hu" combines the characteristics of "Duo Qiu" and "Fang Gu". The pot body is wide and round, able to hold a large capacity, and exudes a dignified and steady elegance, which is highly sought after by collectors.
