The origin of the Meirenjian teapot are traced to the potter Xu Youquan 徐友泉 who lived during the Ming Dynasty. He was fascinated with a type of porcelain vase called ‚plum vase‘ and adapted its shape to create this teapot.
Many European teapots are of this shape and you can find them in a lot of museums.
