Vintage Yixing Zisha Half Moon Teapot — 1970s/80s Factory 1
This exquisite vintage Yixing Zisha teapot from the late 1970s or early 1980s is a rare find from the acclaimed Factory 1 era. Featuring a minimalist 'Half Moon' design, it is crafted from genuine Yixing purple clay, known for its natural patina and seasoning properties. Measuring approximately 19cm in length, the teapot is in excellent condition with a minor, shallow chip on the inside lip of the lid and teapot (see pictures) which is unnoticeable when on display and does not affect its functionality.
