Flowing Overhead Handle
The defining feature is the tall overhead handle, which rises elegantly above the body before sweeping back down toward the spout. The continuous curve creates a distinctive profile that feels light, balanced and architectural.

Fluid Sculptural Form
The lower body follows the same flowing design language. Smooth transitions and restrained curves give the teapot a sense of movement, inspired by the natural path of flowing water.

Zi Ni Purple Clay
The body is crafted from Zi Ni, a traditional purple clay valued for its earthy texture and understated appearance. Left unglazed, the natural clay provides a tactile surface that gradually becomes warmer and smoother with continued use.

Handcrafted Construction
Each Liu Shui Teapot is entirely handmade by skilled zisha artisans. The shaping, forming and finishing are completed individually, resulting in subtle variations that are part of the character of the piece.

Generous 370 ml Capacity
The 370 ml capacity makes the Liu Shui suitable for sharing tea while maintaining a relatively refined footprint on the tea table.

Natural Patina
Regular use allows the clay to develop its own surface character. Over time, the finish becomes deeper and more polished through the traditional process known as yanghu, or raising the pot.
