In the 1960s, the Zisha Pottery Factory proposed that products should be oriented toward the mass market. To this end, Gu Jingzhou designed and created the "Fengdeng Pot" based on the "Shouxing Pot" and "Yang Tong Pot." This teapot has a simple and dignified form. Its overall shape is close to the "Shouxing Pot," with a body formed into a square lantern shape, a straight mouth with flared rim, and a disc-style pressed lid. The double-curved spout allows water to flow smoothly, making it practical and convenient. The bottom of this teapot bears a decorative border seal reading "Yixing Zisha." Currently, only one example is known to exist, in the collection of Chen Fengmei.
