Yixing Pumpkin Teapot with Cups

Chinese Yixing Zisha clay tea set, featuring a pumpkin design with a distinctive twisted vine handle. The set showcases the marbled or "swirl" clay technique, which uses different colors of clay to create the intricate, wood-grain-like patterns visible on both the teapot and the cups. Authentic sets are crafted from Yixing Zisha clay, known for its ability to absorb tea oils and enhance flavor over time. A pumpkin-shaped body with a green twisted vine handle and a butterfly ornament on the lid. The set came with 2 cups, I'm including an extra 2. Excellent condition. I don’t recall ever using it.
