Description

A very attractive clay tea pot in excellent, unused condition, with a nature scene on one side and on the other a Confucious proverb (idiom) that roughly translated reads:  "where ignorance is bliss, it's folly to be wise!".  Teapot is about 6" in diameter.
These beautiful teapots have been hand-crafted for centuries in a really ugly, remote village in China (although it's now probably a major city as I went there in 1995!).  I am selling off my collection for less than it cost me to buy them at the source and ship them to the USA.  These are unused--people in Asia not only use them for steeping tea, they have a different tea pot for each type of tea they drink, as the clay absorbs the flavor of the tea and, over time, enhances the flavor.
Shipped via priority mail: but still expect it to take at least 3 days for delivery.
