By the Five Dynasties through the Northern Song Dynasty, Ou Kiln pouring vessels reached their peak—forming the most direct historical prototype for this modern long-spout design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this period, the teapot evolved into a more slender and upright silhouette. The tubular spout became longer with a subtle curve, while the handle was refined to better fit the natural grip of the hand. The overall form feels light, elegant, and balanced, with a significant improvement in pouring smoothness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design was perfectly suited to the tea practices of the Song Dynasty, such as whisked tea (Diancha) and decocted tea (Jiancha), where precise and controlled pouring was essential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rouseclay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52304083484959,"sku":null,"price":65.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0935\/2033\/1039\/files\/5D4_0479.jpg?v=1775625922","url":"https:\/\/rouseclay.com\/products\/celadon-gongfu-teapot-song-style-long-spout-145ml","provider":"Rouseclay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
