Xilu Fenghou Yixing Teapot — Handcrafted Ancient Bronze Clay, 200ml
Xilu Fenghou Yixing Teapot — Handcrafted Ancient Bronze Clay, 200ml
Xilu Fenghou — Joy, Prosperity & the Crowned Monkey
In Chinese tradition, the monkey (猴) is a symbol of cleverness, ambition, and auspicious fortune — and feng hou (封猴, "to crown a monkey") is a beloved homophone for feng hou (封侯, "to be granted a noble title"). Paired with xi lu (喜禄, joy and prosperity), this teapot is a vessel of good omens — a gift that carries genuine meaning.
Handcrafted from rare Ancient Bronze clay (原矿古铜泥), the Xilu Fenghou is immediately striking. Wide-mouthed, generously proportioned, and substantial in the hand at 403g, it commands the tea tray with quiet authority. The internal ball-filter spout ensures a smooth, controlled pour every time.
About Ancient Bronze Clay
Gutong (古铜泥, "ancient bronze clay") is named for its extraordinary fired color — a warm, burnished tone that evokes aged bronze vessels from China’s classical era. It is a visually distinctive clay, rarer than standard Zini or Duanni, and one that develops a particularly rich, metallic warmth as it seasons.
Its dense structure retains heat well and pairs beautifully with full-bodied teas — the kind of teas that fill a room and linger long after the cup is empty.
