Yixing Teapot “Jade Vine Leaves”, ~300 ml (Vintage Piece)

A beautiful vintage Yixing teapot adorned with a traditional motif of climbing vine leaves in a soft jade-green tone. The sculpted leaves curl naturally along the surface of the teapot, creating a harmonious composition characteristic of older Yixing craftsmanship, where every detail was shaped entirely by hand.

The teapot has a smooth, rounded form, complemented by a long, organic handle resembling a natural branch. The lid is topped with a small sculpted vine element – a hallmark of earlier artisan production, in which potters devoted full attention to texture, composition and realism.

A clear maker’s seal at the bottom confirms its workshop origin and helps date the piece to late 20th century / early 2000s, based on clay color, finishing, and stylistic elements.

This teapot already carries its own history — making it even more desirable for collectors and tea practitioners.

The Yixing clay enhances the aroma of oolongs, red teas, and light pu-erh. With each use, the teapot naturally absorbs the essence of the leaves, enriching future brews with deeper flavor.
