This is a type of teapot shape that was created during the Yuan Dynasty. It's called "SengMao" because the shape of the spout resembles a monk's hat. The shape of the teapot has a raised lip, a low front and high back, a duck-bill shaped spout, and the lid rests inside the lip. It has a narrow neck, a bulging belly, a circular foot, and a curved handle, and is characterized by a strong ethnic minority style.. Initially, it was used exclusively for Buddhist monks to drink tea, but over time it gradually became a classic shape of the square zisha teapot.
