Wood-Fired Yixing Teapot with Dragon and Cloud Relief # 95104

An expressive Yixing teapot, wood - fired to reveal nuanced tones of earthy brown and pale ash. The body is richly decorated with a swirling cloud pattern and a raised dragon motif, embodying themes of transformation and power. Dragon - head elements adorn both the spout and handle, and the lid is textured like a rocky cliff. A commanding and atmospheric piece, rooted in Taoist and Chinese mythological aesthetics.
