The teakettle cover button seems like the nipple, the spout of the teapot is short and thick, the handle of the teapot seems like the shape of the ear is upside down. The descendants thought the name was inelegant, so they called it “Dao Ba Xi Shi”teapot. The shape is characterized by a flat abdomen, a round belly, a ring foot and white glazed interior without painting. The exterior is painted with two birds alighted on a bouquet of peach, which were affectionate and happy with each other.They were deeply in love with each other.The teapot symbolizes happiness, harmony, health and longevity.
