The Xishi (西施) shape is a classic Chinese teapot silhouette widely associated with Yixing (zisha) ware: its name evokes the famed beauty Xishi and has been used for centuries to describe a modest, elegant form prized for gongfu brewing. While individual attributions vary, the Xishi form became a staple among potters from the late Ming into the Qing and remains popular with contemporary makers for its balanced proportions and intimate capacity.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nShape note: the small Xishi is typically low and rounded with softly sloping shoulders, a compact body, a short spout and a simple, comfortably arced handle. Lids are close-fitting to preserve aroma; the modest size concentrates heat and extracts, making it ideal for single-person or two-cup gongfu sessions. The \"peony\" element signals decorative emphasis—either surface carving, applied relief, or painted motif—linking the piece to traditional symbols of prosperity and beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWood-fired handmade Yixing teapot made from Duanni clay sourced from the original Huanglongshan mine.
