Of barrel form, the well-potted teapot is of purplish-brown color, the tapering spout rising diagonally upwards, with ear-shaped handle, and bead finial. The body incised with poetry calligraphy, with artist signature "Yong Qing". Early Qing Dynasty period. Chen Yongqing was a renowned Master potter during Ming Wanli Dynasty. He was born in Jiangxi, and was given nickname "Chen San Dai Zi". Although he was not at the same level as Master Shi Dabin, his unique traits still has him near the top of all the Master Potters. This teapot was probably an imitation during the early Qing Dynasty period by a very skilled pottery maker, as shown in the quality of this teapot.

此壺圓鼓腹，斜肩，高頸，笠狀壺蓋，珠狀鈕，直流咀，大耳朵狀執把，壺身鐫刻草書詩文，並署名用卿。此壺胎質細膩，堅實，整體觀之使人覺得有著粗礦，端莊，質樸之感。陳用卿是明朝萬曆年間著名的紫砂大師，祖籍江西，人稱"陳三呆子"，雖無法與時大彬相比，然有自己的特點，在眾多大師中有著一席之地。然此壺應為清初後哪位能工巧匠所製，以當時之技藝能製此壺當非泛泛之輩。
