This listing is for a VERY SMALL production-ware Yixing style tea pot made around 20 years ago. It has a smooth red finish and it is moulded to resemble a fish. It has a capacity of 70ml and has a built-in strainer to prevent tea leaves from pouring with the tea. This piece has a slightly waxy and stained finish suggesting that it may have been polished with something, it is possibly better to use it for display only. The stamp of the maker can be found on the bottom.

Yixing refers to wares made from Yixing clay in the eastern Chinese province of Jiangsu. This particular type of clay is commonly used for the production of teapots. The best teapots are made from purple zisha clay because of its excellent porosity and heat handling properties.
