Handle Yixing Teapot

The "handle" refers to the handle of a Yixing teapot, which is an earlier teapot style than those with straight handles. It is mainly divided into two types: plain style and decorated style. The plain style handle is usually used for plain teapots, while the decorated style handle is often seen on imitation teapots. Yixing teapot artists throughout history have created many styles of handles, with a wide variety of variations, which can be divided into two basic forms: hard handle and soft handle. The handle has a strong sense of form, with a light top and heavy bottom, showing a kind of elegant temperament.
