Description

This is an classic yixing teapot shape named Olive specially for teapotcollectors.

Teapot name: antique-inspired Olive teapot 摹古橄榄壶

capacity: 170ml

This teapot was fully handmade by teapot studio Siyutao with authentic qing duan ni clay,from huang long mine 4,ding shu town yixing city.

Based on the " Olive " teapot created by Shi Dabin 时大彬 in the Ming Dynasty, we have faithfully reproduced it at a 1:1 scale to create this antique-inspired 摹古  Olive teapot.

Auction records of Shi Dabin olive teapot

The original olive-shaped teapot by Shi Dabin was sold for RMB 2,700,000 at the 2025 China Guanyu Auction, equivalent to approximately USD 375,000 (assuming an exchange rate of USD 1 = RMB 7.20).

The image below shows our antique-inspired of the Olive teapot. You can clearly see the similarities in charm, form, and aesthetic beauty between the two teapots.

This is a photo of the teapot's inner wall. You can clearly see the traces of hand tools left inside the teapot. However, we need to reiterate that interior wall marks are not the sole criterion for determining whether a teapot is fully handmade. Experts judge whether a teapot is fully handmade based on its external form 形体, the flow of its lines 线条, and its overall aura 气度. Many teapot artworks worth millions of US dollars may not even have any remaining interior wall marks.
This is an antique-inspired piece handmade by the Siyutao studio, and the teapot mark is also faithful to the original. You can see that the craftsmanship of the antique-inspired piece is superb, recreating the classic.
After testing, we found that the pour of this teapot is very good.
To recreate this classic, we gathered numerous materials and visited many auction previews. At the previews, we were able to personally handle and measure Shi Dabin's original teapot, obtaining invaluable first-hand data. After years of accumulating information, and following months of repeated adjustments and modifications by the Siyutao studio, we finally achieved the antique-inspired Olive teapot that recreates this classic.

All the work and effort is only to present this gorgeous teapot to you.
