The Five-Shape Teapots (五型壺) are an iconic set cherished by collectors of early Yixing commodity teapots. These teapots, produced in the late 1980s, have been lovingly nurtured with tea by collectors for decades, further enhancing their charm and uniqueness.
During the 1980s and 1990s, a significant number of Yixing teapots were exported to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Japan. Among these, the Five-Shape Teapots gained particular fame and even earned affectionate nicknames from Taiwanese collectors: Guava (芭樂), Meatball (肉扁), Magic Lamp (神燈), Shih Tzu (西施), and Eunuch (太監).
While individual teapots in these shapes occasionally surface, finding a complete set of all five shapes is exceedingly rare, making this full collection exceptionally valuable to enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The volume of the five teapots is as follows:
- Guava: 85ml
- Meatball: 70ml
- Magic Lamp: 80ml
- Shih Tzu: 85ml
- Eunuch: 80ml
