Old soul, perfect pour — 1940s Yixing at its finest.
This classic Yixing teapot from the 1940s carries the refined touch of master potter Pan Zhong Guo, whose work bridged traditional craftsmanship with mid-century elegance. Stamped with the base seal 'Jing Nanshan Jian,' it's a piece with a traceable identity — rare and charming. The understated form speaks to the Yixing philosophy that a great teapot gets out of the way and lets the tea do the talking.
Did You Know?
Yixing base seals like 'Jing Nanshan Jian' were personal signatures of the studio or collector who commissioned the piece, making them the closest thing antique teapots have to an autograph.
