“Hand-carved” in this catalog refers to decoration cut into the clay surface by hand. It does not mean the whole vessel was carved from a solid block, and it should not be treated as a synonym for fully handmade construction. Some pots carry both tags because carving and body construction describe different parts of the work.
Inspect the carving from several angles and notice how it follows the body, lid or shoulder of the pot. Check the photographs for the exact product number, because layout, line depth, motifs and finish can differ between pieces. Then compare the stated capacity, opening, spout and handle so the pot works for the way you serve tea.
Move to the fully handmade collection when construction method is your main filter, or view wood-fired teapots when firing and surface variation interest you. The choosing guide keeps capacity, handling and item-specific evidence at the center of the decision.
No. Here it records hand-cut surface decoration. Read the product’s separate construction description to see how the body was formed.
Do not assume uniqueness from the category label. Use the photographs and written record for the exact product number, and ask before ordering if exclusivity matters.
