{"product_id":"qin-quan-yixing-clay-woodfired-teapot-94842","title":"Qin Quan yixing clay woodfired teapot # 94842","description":"The exact historical identity of the form called \"秦权壶\" (Qin‑quan hu) is not well documented in standard teapot catalogs, so its name likely refers to a design inspired by Qin‑period (秦) artifacts or by the shape of an ancient weight\/scale counterweight (权). With that uncertainty noted, here is a safe, general description.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBrief history: Chinese teapot shapes were often named after objects, places, or antiquities; many later potters—especially in the Yixing tradition—revived or reinterpreted ancient bronzes and utilitarian forms as teapots. A name combining \"Qin\" and \"quan\" suggests a modern or historic revival piece that draws aesthetic inspiration from Qin‑era bronzes or weights, rather than a continuously attested, single classical type. Such revival forms typically date from the late imperial period to modern times, when collectors and makers looked to antiquity for formal models.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nShape note: The Qin‑quan hu is likely compact and weighty in appearance, with a low, squat body and crisp, geometric planes or a slightly tapered profile reminiscent of a counterweight. Expect a snug, flush lid, a short, controlled spout and a sturdy handle that emphasize balance and a tactile, solid feel—suitable for single‑serving or gongfu tea brewing. Surface treatment is usually plain or subtly textured to evoke antiquity.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWood-fired handmade Yixing teapot made from Duanni clay sourced from the original Huanglongshan mine.
