Rong coarse pear skin, Zhu mud teapot, sencha tea utensils, one item I purchased this several years ago at a tea shop in Taiwan for a fairly high price.

Good luck. The bottom of the teapot lid has the inscription "Zhou? Rong". I will only be selling the teapot. The tea tray, teacups, and tea sea are for photography purposes and are not included. No original box. About Yixing Zisha Teapots Zisha is a special type of clay found only in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province.
