A glass teapot shaped after a Song dynasty original

This is a 320ml borosilicate glass teapot based on the Song dynasty zhihu (执壶, handled pouring vessel). The shape is about a thousand years old (round egg-like body, long curved spout, side handle) but the material is modern heat-resistant glass. At 320ml it's sized for one person or two small cups.

The handle and lid knob are pale purple glass, which stands out against the clear body. There's a small decorative glass motif where the spout meets the body. 

How to use

Works like any glass teapot. Add your leaves, pour in hot water, steep and pour. The clear glass lets you watch the tea colour develop, which is useful for timing lighter teas. The long curved spout pours cleanly. The borosilicate glass is also stovetop-safe, so you can place it on an electric ceramic stove to keep things warm or simmer tea at a low temperature.

Care
