Since the creation of Yixing teapots in the Ming Dynasty, many classic and fixed styles have existed and have been passed down to this day. Among them is a round and lovely style called "Dragon Egg".

The dragon egg is shaped like an egg. Wu Meiding, a scholar of Yixing teapots in the Qing Dynasty, wrote in his treatise on Yixing teapots, "The round ones are like balls, and the body is slightly elongated, which is the dragon egg." It is said that Shi Dabin, a famous Yixing teapot craftsman in the Ming Dynasty, also made this style.

The story of the dragon egg is recorded in the Book of Songs, "The Birth of Pixiu". It is said that Pixiu, the ninth son of the dragon, hatched from the dragon egg. In folk culture, Pixiu has the meaning of warding off evil spirits and "having Pixiu in the family means having no worries".

Naming a teapot after a "dragon egg" is a beautiful and auspicious wish and aspiration.

This copper-plated silver dragon-shaped teapot features a rustic, rock-like texture on its surface, with added cracks to enhance its weathered appearance and embody a serene beauty.

The water flow is smooth and the size is just right. It can be held with your fingertips and is stable and easy to use.

The teapot has a round and full body, a flat lid with a round knob, a short and straight spout, and a round and full handle with smooth lines, giving it a simple and genuine charm.
