Yixing teapots have been made since the 16th century, and there has been a steady stream of known potters since the Wanli period (1573-1619) The Pottery Capital produces items of all sizes, vessels, roof tiles, porcelains, and most important of all, the zisha or purple sand teapots and objects for the scholars table.
