Ai Li is a variation of Li Xing pot, as Ai Li literally means short pear.
 
This Ai Li pot is made from the same batch of very impeccable material as our Ming Lu pot, and by the same talented author, fairly fine manual work, with very oily and sandy surface. The proper volume is just right for a Gongfu Cha tasting session among 1-4 persons.
 
The photos were taken under natural light and not edited. There may be subtle nuance when you see the teapot under different lighting.
