Why are some purple clay teapots named Daubao Xishi?

The Xi Shi teapot is also called the Xi Shi teapot with an inverted handle. This is a very unique place. The inverted handle is because the handle of this type of pot is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It is different from ordinary pots where the handles are wide at the top and wide at the bottom. Narrow, it seems that it can hold the body of the pot! The handle of the Xi Shi teapot is just the opposite. If you have a Xi Shi teapot in your hand, you might as well turn the body of the teapot upside down and see if it looks like a normal teapot handle again.

The unique inverted handle symbolizes the movement of the beauty’s long hair. It is very suitable to use on Xishi pot.
