We think the Dragon Egg image represents a mother's protective instinct as well as symbolizing rebirth. This beautifully detailed Yixing teapot has one dark brown dragon as the spout and another as the handle. This teapot measures 5.25" from spout to handle and is about 4" high. Like all Yixing teapots it is unglazed inside. The teapot will be sent in a Chinese brocade covered box to protect it during shipping.
