Sihai Teapot Museum Explained

The Sihai Teapot Museum is a private museum dedicated to teapots located in Jiading District, Shanghai. It is the first private museum to open in modern Shanghai.[1] The Sihai Teapot Museum was founded in 1992 by Xu Sihai, an expert in purple clay teapots and Yixing ware teapots.[1]

In 2009, Xu Sihai also established the Hundred Buddhas Garden, a 3.07-hectare complex encompassing the original Sihai Teapot Museum, as well as the nearby China Tea God Museum and a tea processing mill.[1]
