{"product_id":"official-hat-shaped-water-bottle-yixing-clay-woodfired-teapot-94794","title":"Official hat-shaped water bottle yixing clay woodfired teapot # 94794","description":"The exact compound term \"官帽水平壶\" is not a widely standardized name in the sources I consulted, but it clearly combines two familiar elements in Chinese teapot vocabulary: 官帽 (guanmao, “official’s hat”) and 水平壶 (shuiping hu, literally “horizontal\/level teapot”). Below is a cautious, general description based on those elements and the broader Yixing teapot tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDescription:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis form likely refers to a teapot whose lid or crown evokes the flat-brimmed shape of an official’s hat (guanmao) paired with a low, horizontally oriented body. Teapots with “official’s hat” motifs have been made in the Jiangsu\/Yixing tradition since the late Ming and became especially popular among scholar-tea circles in the Qing period and later. Such forms prize restrained, elegant lines and subtle reference to classical dress or objects rather than overt ornament.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nShape note:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nExpect a squat, wide profile with a lid whose rim or cap suggests a brimmed hat, a short horizontal spout and a compact handle that keep the silhouette low and stable. Usually executed in zisha (purple clay) or related Yixing clays, the shape emphasizes balance, a low center of gravity, quick heating, and suitability for gongfu-style brewing. Many modern artisans continue to reinterpret the motif.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWood-fired handmade Yixing teapot made from Duanni clay sourced from the original Huanglongshan mine.
