This masterpiece teapot is a magnificent work of art, crafted by the well-known artist, Du Jun Nan, who created the unique Jin Shi style of modern Jian Shui teapots. Du grew up in Jian Shui old city and learned different crafts skills from the local craftsmen. This rising artist especially loves calligraphy and Zhuan carving in his college years. Later he developed his signature style, which applies ancient inscription elements, typically found on metals and bronze, onto the Jian Shui teapots. This gem is full of characters from ancient Chinese oracle-bone  inscriptions, as well as seal carving and Zhuan calligraphy, Buddhist scriptures and goddesses, and the traditional metal/bronze drawings and motifs. The composition and meticulous detail of these ancient elements and objects is both striking and captivating. The bold application of traditional color clay-filling techniques used for the inscriptions is brilliant. Indeed this is a marvelous piece for Jian Shui teapot lovers and a great artwork collectible for many years to come.  

The characters on the teapot read as "Jin Shi Yong Sou", meaning "stones have long life", but the spirits on the stones carry infinitely when their substance diminishes.
