Chanting Pines' Teapots
Posted: Fri Dec 26, 2025 5:34 am
I came across this website looking for reputable modern Yixing teapots. I am not sure how common it is but it uses a grading system ranging between Bronze and Diamond, with the latter being the more expensive offerings.
For those available for sale, ie. not sold out, all appear to be crafted by Chen Ju Fang. She works at Wuxing Shan Fang Studio with her husband, another potter. This looks like her primary storefront, Chanting Pines being the middleman. What I find hard to work with are the lack of details. Her studio isn't online, and these listings on Chanting Pines don't mention Zisha clay subtypes being used. I'll post an example below.
Does anyone know what to make of this? Should we know which type they are just by the colouration on the photos? Or is there another place we can look up for more info?
