Shui Ping Hu "the Horizontal Teapot" hailed as the Kung Fu tea utensil king, originated in southern China alongside the Kung Fu tea tradition. In the pursuit of enhanced tea flavor extraction, practitioners ingeniously placed the teapot in hot water and poured boiling water over its surface. This practice inadvertently discovered that specific small teapots could float evenly in hot water, earning them the moniker "Shui Ping Hu - horizontal teapot".
The Shui Ping Hu, with roots tracing back to the Ming and Qing periods, was innovated by potter Hu Mengchen. Renowned for its dedication to Kung Fu tea utensils, the Minnan region has a popular saying: "For teapots, it must be Mengchen; for cups, they must be in the Rousehn style."
The Shui Ping Hu is typically crafted from Zhu Ni clay, renowned for its high firing density and sleek appearance. The teapot's practical design ensures an elegant and smooth pouring experience. Despite maintaining its early appearance, the Shui Ping Hu continues to captivate collectors for its historical significance and enduring charm.
Chaozhou Zhu Ni teapots are highly recommended for pairing with Feng Huang Dancong, also making them the perfect match for Minnan oolongs or Wuyi Yan Cha.
