Legend of Mansheng Stone Ladle
The Mansheng Stone Ladle is said to have originated from the legend of Chen Mansheng, who, in his spare time from his official duties, often traveled incognito through the streets, occasionally collecting antiques. One day, he suddenly saw a beggar begging on a street corner, with a stone vessel in front of him. Mansheng observed the vessel for a long time but could not find it. So he approached and picked it up to examine it closely. He saw that the vessel had a unique shape, resembling a gourd but not quite. Although it was old, it could not hide its elegant and simple appearance. Upon looking at its base, he found the inscription "A gourd vessel custom-made by the Shao family of the Yuan Dynasty." Mansheng was overjoyed and immediately took out two taels of silver to buy it.
Mansheng was overjoyed to receive this item. He hurriedly returned home, cleaned it thoroughly, and upon closer inspection, confirmed it was indeed a Yuan Dynasty stone ladle teapot. As a connoisseur of Yixing teapots, Mansheng was inspired to create a teapot based on its shape. He used the stone artifact as a model to design the teapot, adding a lid and spout to complete it. After hundreds of revisions, the final teapot was completed and named "Stone Ladle." He inscribed on the body of the teapot: "Not fat but firm, therefore, this is the inscription of the stone ladle teapot made by Mansheng of Yongnian."
This Shi Piao style is a classic design among Yixing teapots. Its main features are a smaller top and a larger bottom, resulting in a lower center of gravity and stable use. The spout is a short, powerful, straight cylinder, ensuring smooth water flow. The body of the pot is pyramid-shaped, giving it an elegant appearance. Later, through many improvements, it was subdivided into Ziye Shi Piao, Jingzhou Shi Piao, Hantang Shi Piao, and others. Ultimately, however, all styles trace their origins back to Mansheng.
