This complicated shape distorts and is formed during the firing process, which makes it extraordinarily hard to predict what the final outcome will be. So don’t try this at home, even our master potter went through piles of Yixing clay just to get this one right!
But it wasn’t in done vein; the smooth lid fits perfectly on top of the turtle’s shell to fully enclose all of the aroma and flavor of your tea while it brews.
Don’t forget to admire the cute little elephant atop the lid. It's bending its legs and lifting its trunk as if to greet you. This cheerful creature bears a stamp of the Chinese character ‘Fu,’ which means fortune. You can easily open the pot by gripping the elephant.
Cultural Note: Did you know that an elephant wishes ‘wealth and honor ahead of you’ in China? That's because elephant in Chinese is pronounced ‘Xiang,’ which sounds the same as the Chinese word for prime minister. He who holds this post will bring great honor and wealth to his family. Thus, elephants and honor have been associated together throughout Chinese history.
