Vintage Chinese Yixing Zisha Pottery "Buffalo & Herdboy" Teapot. A beautifully tactile and whimsical example of Chinese Yixing Zisha (purple clay) pottery. This teapot features a stylized, angular body that cleverly incorporates the form of a water buffalo, with the spout serving as the animal's head and the lid topped with a finial shaped like a herdboy wearing a traditional conical hat. The design is a classic motif in Chinese art, symbolizing rural tranquility, humility, and the harmony between man and nature. Detailed Specifications Material: Authentic Zisha (Purple Clay), known for its porous nature and ability to enhance the flavor of tea over time. Design: Geometric, faceted body with a hand-sculpted buffalo head spout and a figural herdboy lid. Dimensions: 14.5 cm (Length) x 7 cm (Width) x 7.8 cm (Height). Condition: Excellent / Perfect Condition. No chips, cracks, or restorations visible. The clay retains a soft, matte patina. While many Yixing pots follow strict traditional shapes, this "Buffalo" pot is a "Hua Huo" (Flower Goods) style piece—meaning it incorporates naturalistic and sculptural elements. It is as much a piece of sculpture as it is a functional vessel, making it a standout addition to any collection of Asian ceramics or teaware.
