 All of our Grade A, and B YiXing teapots are hand selected based upon the quality of the clay, creative content, and artistic appeal. Also important in the selection of a teapot is its arrangement of spout, handle, lid and base that must be perfectly coordinated and balanced. Each teapot, in essence, is the culmination of the potter's emotion, spirit, rhythm and personality. The classifications of our teapots are based strictly upon the quality of the clay, and the teapot. |
