Currently, I'm obsessed with this style of tea pot! The flatter the shape the better I like it. I didn't like decorated pots since I started drinking tea seriously.
Hua Huo - decorated vs .
Guang Huo - plain, my preference is still
Guang Huo. However this pot makes my other similar shaped
Chao Zhou pot look kinda "bare", less "sparkling" in terms of "
royalness", not in terms of physical shininess. I have grown to love its attractiveness more day by day, even though it has a couple of flaws. Hand thrown
Chao Zhou pot made with local
Zhu Ni, dark color is the result of high temperature fire. Looks like an
Yixing pot, doesn't it? I feel like a teenage girl when I look at this pot, it makes me
gitty! :P I am keeping this pot! :D


Same color inside and out.

A crack at the bottom of the handle, result of shrinkage from firing.

Crack lines on sides of the spout, visible on one side, a tiny line on the other side, also results of shrinkage from firing. Does not leak.
