r/Teapots

The ceramic city is surprisingly bustling after the typhoon. Busy crowds and heavy traffic fill the streets.( Testing teapots for customers on‑site.🍵)

The topic is snail and bamboo

I have bought this teapot for £2 in a charity shop. I looked the design up and can see the red clay type are quite sought after, but this is a deep dark brown and matt finish. Any help would be appreciated in knowing what I’ve found!

Got given this teapot from a friend. Could anyone help me decipher the text on the sides? ChatGPT and Deepseek have not been super helpful.

It's been used by a friend before given to me, thus the staining, so I can't tell what the original clay texture might have been.

Also, any advice on how to clean this cute lil pot?

Thanks!

I bought this at a thrift store. The tag said vintage ceramic teapot. But I’m wondering if it’s really vintage or just something newer that’s a knockoff claiming to be vintage. I don’t see any visible signs of age.
