The most distinctive feature is its bionic design. The handle mimics naturally curved vines with organic thickness variations, perfectly fitting the palm's contour. At the joint between vine and body, craftsmen carved a miniature melon calyx replicating real botanical details.

Crafting this Chinese zisha teapot requires exceptional skill. The high shrinkage rate of aged clay demands millimeter precision to maintain lid-body fit. Artisans must complete delicate appliqué work when clay is semi-dry, manually attaching each leaf and vine before refining with bamboo tools.
