{"product_id":"moonlit-lotus-handcrafted-pure-silver-detailed-ceramic-xishi-teapot","title":"Moonlit Lotus | Handcrafted Pure Silver-Detailed Ceramic Xishi Teapot","description":"\u003cp\u003eMoonlit Lotus brings together classical blue-and-white ornament, sculptural relief work and pure silver-clad detailing in a rounded Xi Shi teapot handcrafted in Dehua. The form draws on the traditional Xi Shi teapot silhouette, with a compact, full-bodied shape that feels balanced in the hand and gives the piece a softer, more gathered presence than taller teapot forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decoration centres on the traditional scrolling lotus motif (纏枝蓮), with cobalt-blue lotus blossoms, curling foliage and continuous vines wrapping across the body and lid. These flowing lines follow the curvature of the teapot, giving the surface a sense of movement and continuity rooted in classical Chinese decorative arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet into the body are raised relief panels featuring dragon and phoenix imagery, finished in pure silver-clad detailing (鎏銀). The contrast between the blue-and-white floral ornament and the silver relief creates a layered visual effect, bringing together softness and strength in a single composition. The dragon and phoenix motif has long been associated with harmony, auspicious union and ceremonial beauty, giving the teapot a more elevated and symbolic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than reading as a flat metallic coating, the silver surface interacts with the relief carving and catches light across its raised contours. This gives the teapot greater depth and texture, while preserving the elegance of the floral ground beneath. The result is decorative, but still refined enough for regular use at the tea table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe teapot is fitted with an integrated hemispherical multi-hole filter behind the spout to help separate leaves from the tea liquor during pouring. Its rounded body provides space for leaves to open comfortably, while the spout is shaped for a smooth, controlled stream and the circular handle offers a stable, comfortable grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Moonlit Lotus is well suited to personal brewing or sharing tea in smaller servings. Its size makes it practical for Gongfu preparation while also giving the vessel enough presence to function as a decorative focal piece when displayed between infusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoonlit Lotus is available on its own or paired with a coordinating tray. The Scrolling Lotus Tray continues the restrained blue-and-white decorative language of the teapot, while the Polychrome Scrolling Lotus Tray adds a broader presentation surface and a richer border treatment. Both tray options create a more composed tea presentation and make the piece especially suitable for gifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in fitted gift packaging where applicable, Moonlit Lotus is designed as both a functional brewing vessel and a refined piece of handcrafted teaware, bringing together Dehua ceramic craftsmanship, classical lotus symbolism and pure silver-clad decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Origin: Made in \u003cstrong\u003eDehua\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Product:\u003cbr\u003e1 × Ceramic Xi Shi Teapot\u003cbr\u003e1 × Tray, according to selected style\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandcrafted in Dehua\u003c\/strong\u003e with traditional ceramic-making methods, each with a unique design and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dehua","offers":[{"title":"Teapot with Polychrome Lotus Tray","offer_id":49742193164440,"sku":null,"price":370.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Teapot with Scrolling Lotus Tray","offer_id":49742193197208,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Teapot Only","offer_id":49742193229976,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/1425\/9096\/files\/1_d4e4c02d-249e-4813-9843-5d60070c04d8.jpg?v=1787686011","url":"https:\/\/fungtea.com\/products\/moonlit-lotus-handcrafted-pure-silver-detailed-ceramic-xishi-teapot","provider":"Fung Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
