Dé Zhōng. The Bell of the Tea Table.
A wide, upright body that recalls an ancient bronze bell — the Dé Zhōng form — carrying one of the most elaborate hand-carved scenes in the Yixing repertoire: a full seascape etched into the clay.

Craft
Dé Zhōng — literally 'the bell' — is a shape prized for its stately silhouette and even wall thickness, made to hold heat through long, slow infusions. The carved seascape is the work of a single hand: each wave-line and cliff-hatch pressed into the clay before firing.
Care
- ✓ Rinse with warm water after use; air dry
- ✓ Season the clay with your tea over time — the surface develops a natural patina
- ✗ Avoid thermal shock — do not pour boiling water into a cold vessel
- ✗ Do not use soap or abrasive scrubbers on unglazed clay
