Albuquerque resident Carolyn Chan purchased this Yixing teapot in San Francisco. The pot features the god of longevity on one side and a crane (also a symbol of longevity) on the other. The "back" of the pot (for a right-handed person) is shown below. For a third view of the pot, please click here.
