Chinese Yixing clay teapots are handcrafted items that are often seasoned over time.

The burnt aspect suggests that the clay has undergone a high-temperature firing process, which gives it a unique, durable quality and enhances its natural colors and textures, ranging from deep reds to purples and browns.
