The clay is modern zhuni, a hard red clay with little porosity that has the rough feel of pear skin. It was fired at a high temperature: the cover produces a high pitched sound when it touches the body of the teapot.
The details of this teapot show very good craftsmanship. The handle looks like a human ear. The walls under the lid are long and curved inwards. The knob is elevated and easy to grab. And the spout produces a graceful water flow that can be stopped by pressing on the knob.
It was made approximately 10 years ago but is in new condition. This teapot has a single hole.
It performs best with high mountain Oolongs or fresh Baozhong. The scents of the tea come out strong and bright.
The seal under the teapot is 'Ning Hou'.
