This teapot design was created by Gao Haigeng in 1978. Its overall form draws inspiration from the divine charm of jade artifacts from the Neolithic period, incorporating and innovatively transforming various elements of jade objects. The body is full and rounded, with the waist decorated by undulating parallel ring lines that alternate and vary, creating a continuous and dynamic rhythm. The spout is square with rounded edges, its base adorned with relief carvings of coiled dragon patterns. The handle is straight at the top, decorated with jade tablet motifs, its style simple and elegant, convenient for holding. The semi-circular fish-shaped knob appears as if leaping from the water's surface. The knob is further decorated with circular rings, while the rim line and the appliqué on the lid surface resemble rippling water waves—the fish leaping with graceful vitality, spirited and appropriate. The teapot's structure is compact and tight, flowing within its rigor, full of life within its dignity. On the evening of September 25, 1982, Gu Jingzhou took advantage of an exhibition in Beijing to visit Professor Feng Qiyong with Gao Haigeng. Feng Qiyong recalled: "He (Gu Jingzhou) solemnly introduced him to me, saying that Haigeng was his most accomplished disciple, that his art and technique had all been passed on to Haigeng, and that Haigeng was fully capable of inheriting his tradition and would achieve even greater development."[1] Gu Jingzhou's Ji Yu Teapot series was completed through modifications on Zhou Guizhen's teapot blanks—only one piece exists. --- [1] Feng Qiyong, "Craftsmanship Perfected to the Point of Jade-like Radiance—Zhou Guizhen and Zisha," *Zhonghua Wenhua Huabao* (China Cultural Pictorial), 2007, Issue 12, p. 60.
