The teapot's most striking feature lies in its bamboo-inspired design. The body resembles emerging bamboo shoots, blending stability with vitality. The spout, handle, and knob mimic naturally curved bamboo branches, their fluid lines preserving organic forms while infusing artistic vitality. Artist Bao Yuhua innovates beyond traditional bamboo designs: the lid-body connection echoes bamboo's growth pattern, surface textures replicate bamboo fibers through exquisite hammering techniques, and even the bud-shaped knob tip embodies the Eastern philosophy – "possessing integrity before emerging from earth, maintaining humility when reaching clouds."

Every step – from water pouring to tea serving – confirms its status as the "king of tea wares."
