Yixing clay teapots are traditional teapots made from a special clay at the Yixing kilns in the eastern Chinese province of Jiangsu, and are excellent for brewing oolong or black teas. The inscriptions indicate that the teapot was sold by Guan Chong Bee Enterprise, a Singapore tea trading company established in 1920.
