With 240ml capacity ideal for group tea sessions, it's crafted from naturally aged purple clay that develops warm luster after firing. The 14-diamond-shaped water outlets ensure smooth pouring and effective tea leaf filtration. Its flattened circular body ensures steady handling, while the fishtail-shaped handle incorporates ergonomic design with cultural symbolism - the fish motif representing "annual surplus" in Chinese tradition.

The teapot's highlight lies in its relief-carved decoration depicting two koi fish swimming among lotus ponds. Meticulously detailed scales and lotus textures create dynamic movement, with one fish leaping upward and another swirling downward, visually expressing the "Golden Abundance" symbolism for continuous wealth and fortune.

When brewing tea, the aged clay optimally preserves tea aromas. With prolonged use, the patina naturally deepens through proper maintenance - simply rinse with water after each use. As a collectible, its value lies in unique handmade characteristics and the artist's inscribed seal. The teapot adapts well to oolong, pu'erh, and black teas, its flat shape allowing full leaf expansion.

Crafted over twenty years of expertise by Bao Yuhua, this piece blends traditional motifs with modern aesthetics. Each curve and angle reveals meticulous refinement. For international collectors, it serves both as functional ware and cultural artifact - koi patterns symbolizing prosperity while lotus represents purity in Eastern philosophy.

Proper care involves gentle wiping with soft cloth and avoiding detergents. The slight friction sound between lid and rim indicates excellent sealing. When purchasing, authentic purple clay shows natural color with granular texture and produces metallic resonance when tapped. This certified "Golden Abundance" teapot offers both artistic merit and daily utility, developing warmer tactile feedback through continued use unlike common teapots. Watching the carved koi "swim" during tea sessions adds spiritual props to the drinking ritual.
