Yutu Hand-Grip Teapot — Handcrafted White Duanni Clay, 130ml

Yutu — The Jade Rabbit

Small in size, enormous in character. The Yutu Hand-Grip Teapot (玉兔手抓壶) is named after the mythical jade rabbit of the moon — a symbol of purity, good fortune, and quiet grace. Handcrafted from rare raw White Duanni clay (原矿白段泥), this compact 130ml pot is designed to be cradled in the palm — intimate, warm, and entirely your own.

The hand-grip form (shou zhua hu) is one of the most tactile styles in the Yixing tradition. There are no handles — just the pot itself, held close, connecting you directly to the heat and weight of the brew. It’s a meditative experience as much as a practical one.

About White Duanni Clay

Duanni (段泥) is a naturally pale, mineral-rich Yixing clay prized for its creamy, almost luminous surface. White Duanni is among the rarest variants — light in color, fine in grain, and striking in contrast against the deep tones of brewed tea. It fires to a warm ivory-beige that brightens subtly with seasoning over time.

Its relatively neutral character makes it a versatile brewer — equally at home with green oolongs, white teas, and light-roast teas where clarity of flavor is everything.
