A master's mark, fired in clay and time.
The Que Qiu Lu is a charming Yixing teapot from the 1980s and early 1990s, bearing the marks of the skilled artisan Jing Zhou — a name stamped with quiet pride on both the lid and base. Its name, which hints at a filtered or refined quest, reflects the thoughtful craftsmanship that defines this era of Zisha pottery, when individual makers were reclaiming their artistic identities after decades of collective production. Compact and purposeful, it's a little piece of living history that still brews a beautiful cup.
