There are two sizes available.
The larger pot (220 milliliters) is made of red clay (Zhuni). She has a very dark blue color.
The smaller pot (150 milliliters) is made of purple clay (Zini). She is brown in color.
Both pots have a natural luster and require only a couple of weeks of seasoning to see the shine.

Authenticity
What's the most important thing when buying a Yixing tea pot?
Yes, it is making the right connection with the creator - in this case - Mr Zhu Xinnan.
He is the only person that can get the design, functions and clay right.
Counterfeits of Mr Zhu's pots are rampant in China these days. We commissioned our pots directly from him, so you can be assured of the quality.
You will also find Mr Zhu's seal at the bottom of the pot. The four characters says "Zhu Xin Nan Make".
You will also receive a photo of him holding this pot.
