Understated elegance poured from a storied era.
The Xi teapot is a quietly elegant circular vessel with roots in 1960s China, bearing the mark of Jingzhou — a region with a rich craft heritage. Its rounded, water-inspired form feels both ancient and refreshingly modern, like something you'd find in a minimalist tea ceremony. Simple yet purposeful, it's a reminder that great design often hides its effort.
