The design of the Palace Lamp "Gongdeng" in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. Its prototype was a lantern, designed by an old man from Tuntou Village.

"Xubian" yixing teapot is considered one of the most challenging shapes to create in traditional handmade purple clay pottery. In fact, it's said in the industry that "one point of shaping equals one point of difficulty in forming." To create this teapot, the potter must start with a cylindrical shape and then use a "clay pat" to gently tap and flatten the clay without causing it to collapse. This requires a great deal of skill and precision in manual operation, making it a difficult and time-consuming process. Despite the challenges, the Xubian teapot is highly valued by collectors and tea enthusiasts for its unique and elegant shape, as well as its ability to brew tea with a rich and full flavor.
