Yixing lies approximately 150 miles west of Shanghai by the shores of the beautiful Lake Tai Hu, surrounded by mountains from which the very special ‘Zisha’ clay is extracted. Teapots have been made in Yixing for over 600 years and are highly collectible. These beautiful pieces are designed by master craftsmen, whose originals sell for many thousands of pounds, and are lovingly hand-fashioned by skilled potters.
