It's often said that a woman who drinks Tea has a certain charm.
And a woman who enjoys drinking tea from a Yixing Clay pot possesses a natural, refreshing, and perfectly balanced beauty.
Today, I'll introduce ten styles of teapots that are particularly favored by women.
01
Xi Shi (Doll) Teapot
The Xi Shi teapot has a plump and adorable shape with graceful curves. The flush-fitting lid makes the entire form appear unified, making it perfect for handling.
As one of the four great beauties of ancient China, the name Xi Shi naturally evokes associations of beauty, elegance, and nobility.
As the saying goes: Beautiful is the Xi Shi, but the most wonderful is the Xi Shi teapot.
02
Beauty's Shoulder Teapot
The Beauty's Shoulder teapot resembles an elegant and lovely ancient Chinese woman, exuding imperial splendor while also possessing the grace of a young lady.
The design is full and dignified, with the main focus on the roundness of the body. The lid blends seamlessly with the body, and the teapot feels warm and smooth to the touch.
03
Smiling Cherry Teapot
The Smiling Cherry teapot, originally named the Three-Line teapot, draws inspiration from ancient ceramic tea storage jars (“Ying”). It was later renamed Smiling Cherry due to the resemblance of its bud-shaped knob to a cherry on a branch.
The design of the Smiling Cherry teapot is said to be inspired by the historical anecdote “Ying Ning's smile dissolves a thousand sorrows.”
The various colors that blend harmoniously in the Smiling Cherry teapot are reminiscent of “Ying Ning's smile.”

One Pearl Teapot
A pearl in the palm, like a pearl from He Pu.
The One Pearl teapot is small and charming, with a smooth and jade-like surface and a refined aura. Using this teapot to brew fragrant tea is a delightful experience for the eyes and the palate.
05
Pear-Shaped Teapot
The Pear-Shaped teapot is modeled after a pear, with its overall shape resembling one.
This teapot consists entirely of arcs, circles, and curves, presenting an elegant and understated appearance. It is a common style since the Qianlong era.
Brewing and tasting tea with this teapot is especially loved by tea enthusiasts, and it has been passed down through generations. In southern Fujian, it is said that “without a pear-shaped teapot, one cannot truly talk about tea.”
06
Siting (Thoughtful) Teapot
The Siting teapot has a refined style with gentle curves, and its spout is relatively sharp, much like a woman gracefully moving like a golden swan or a winding dragon!
The Siting teapot is known for its elegant and delicate appearance in the history of red clay pottery. It resembles a dragon raising its head, embodying the softness and charm of a woman, with outstanding temperament.
07
Wen Dan (Citron) Teapot
The Wen Dan teapot shares a similar shape with the Xi Shi and Concubine teapots, emphasizing delicacy and grace, fully embodying the softness and elegance of femininity.
The term “Wen Dan” means: “Wen” refers to gentleness, exterior, and demeanor; “Dan” refers to the female roles in traditional Chinese opera.
In the eyes of scholars, the style and charm of the Wen Dan teapot can be compared to that of a beautiful woman, supple and graceful.
08
Imitation Antique Ruyi Teapot
The Imitation Antique Ruyi teapot symbolizes a happy life.
The body of the teapot is composed of four full Ruyi cloud patterns, which are arranged gracefully and harmoniously, evoking an ancient charm.
The overall form is steady yet detailed, grand yet soft.

Plum Blossom Announcing Spring Teapot
The Plum Blossom Announcing Spring teapot incorporates the elegant branches of plum blossoms into its design.
The knob, lid, spout, and handle are all modeled after plum branches, and the body is adorned with delicate sprigs of plum blossoms, with the rest of the surface smooth and full. The simplicity of the plum blossoms and the richness of the clay blend together naturally.
Vividly carved using techniques such as carving and molding, the plum blossoms are depicted as fearless of Frost and cold, with a dignified and exquisite appearance.

Pumpkin Teapot
The Pumpkin teapot is a classic creation in the floral category of Yixing clay teapots. It draws inspiration from nature, bringing a fresh and lively atmosphere from the countryside.
After being crafted by artisans, it appears delicate and charming, with a graceful and harmonious shape. The body is shaped like a Gourd, the knob like a stem, and the handle like a vine, with beautiful and harmonious curves.
With teapots, of course, tea is essential…
Women generally have a tendency towards a cooler constitution and should avoid drinking too much tea that is cold in nature.
Among the six major categories of tea—
