This teapot is truly imperial in the sense that four dragons are asymmetrically carved on both sides of the teapot. Symbolizing good fortune, power and strength, you will find that these dragons are protecting the sacred pearl thought to be a symbolic representation of wisdom or yang energy. Pearl symbolism, like lunar symbolism, arises from Daoist roots and the connections are extremely complex. This pearl can be said to stand most often for 'truth' and 'life' - perhaps even everlasting life which is made available to those who perceive the truth and attain enlightenment. Holds 9 ounces.

Comments about Teavana Imperial Splendor Yixing Teapot:

I love dragon and this teapot is so traditional and so very beautiful. I fell in love with it at first sight. And although some may consider it small - traditionally each family member had their own pot so it's only meant to make enough for one (or two small cups) Easy care just rinse out when done. You'll want to keep to one type of tea has it will season the pot over time. I own several yixing pots which I all love but the craftsmanship on this one is out standing as it is double walled - which also helps the tea stay warmer a bit longer. Yixing pot strainer/filters are not a fine mesh as they are made from clay, so fine tea isn't the best choice unless you don't mind drinking the leaves. Works wonderful for white, black, green teas that you can steep again and again with, yet allows the tea leave room to expand and dance thus breathing. For those who want a personal tea experience yixing pots are perfect. And double as wonderful art as well.
