Vintage Yixing Zisha Teapot Square Circle Fang Yuan Heini Foo Dog w/ Box

Authentic vintage Yixing Zisha teapot from the renowned Square Circle Brand (方圆牌 / Fang Yuan Pai), featuring a rare sculptural Foo Dog design. Made from traditional heini zisha (black Yixing clay), this pot showcases superb craftsmanship with a bulbous form, horned lid finial, expressive face, and pawed feet.

The deep, richly fired heini clay is unglazed and breathable—ideal for tea seasoning—but this pot is more commonly collected as an art piece due to its intricate form. Includes original silk-lined brocade box and retains both foil Fang Yuan and “Made in China” export stickers, indicating its origin in the late 1980s–early 1990s period, likely made for overseas collectors.
