Big "teapot" in Guiyang miniascape garden

On February 16th, a "Zi Sha teapot" sculpture, about one meter high, was
set up in the miniascape garden of Guiyang ("Zi Sha" refers to a special
ceramic material). The whole pot is purple and placed on a thick base
made of "ancient roots", while the mouth, cover and handle of the pot
look very real. Two big characters of "delicate fragrance" are carved in
the middle of the pot and a golden orchid in full bloom is painted in the
lower part of the pot. "Green tea" continuously pours out from the
sloping mouth of the pot, and pours into the big "cup". Many visitors
stop to admire the wonderful contraption.
