Where
The brown Yixing stoneware teapots caught the fancy of many tea connoisseurs. They rose to prominence with the Chinese literati of the Ming and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties who used the stoneware as their preferred vessels. To this day, they continue to be popular amongst people evereywhere. Small Yixing teapots were said to be best for enhancing and retaining a tea's colour, flavour, and aroma; a fine complement to an intimate gathering of two or three friends. Some scholars commissioned Yixing potters to make pots for them embellished with a calligraphic inscription or landscape scene. The Gallery has nearly 100 Yixing items donated by Carol Potter Peckham of San Francisco and just received a donation of several hundred teapots from Roger Lee in various wonderful, innovated and comical shapes designed to intrigue all!
