Cracked ceramic teapot with gingko leaves

Cracked ceramic teapot with gingko leaf pattern. The ceramic with a soft green glaze reveals cracks, the natural result of small bubbles trapped during firing. The cracks sparkle in translucent depth and give the ceramic this 3D impression. Added in contrast is a duo of finely chiseled leaves, as if placed on the surface. This little Chinese teapot is, if you like, accompanied by its tea pot and its little cups. The Gaiwan in the same model is sufficient on its own for a personal tea.

The leaves of Ginkgo or the 40 crown tree, or Yinxing (which means silver apricot tree in Chinese), are known for therapeutic use.
