This purple clay teapot is named "Elegant Bamboo," appearing both graceful and naturally inspired. Its surface showcases unique tiger skin patterns that reflect golden hues under light.

The most captivating feature lies in its material. The surface displays interwoven golden speckles resembling tiger fur patterns, known as "tiger skin golden sand." These metallic particles naturally transform through mineral reactions under extreme heat. When tea rinses the surface, these golden flecks become vividly animated. Fired at 1300°C, the body develops micro-pores that retain aroma while preventing cracks.
