Exquisite Phoenix Dance Purple Clay Teapot: Masterpiece of Jiang Yaping
$428.57Handmade 60cc purple clay teapot with peacock motif, Cultural Revolution-era Zisha clay, smooth pour, and collector-grade craftsmanship by master artist Jiang Yaping.
This exquisite Yixing purple clay teapot was crafted by a senior artisan. Named "Phoenix Dancing in the Heavens," it originates from Chinese national-level master craftsman Jiang Yaping. The material used for this zisha teapot is particularly special - original "Cultural Revolution-era aged purple clay" from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing. This clay, after prolonged aging, develops a warm dark purple hue when fired, better preserving tea aromas during brewing.
With a compact 60ml capacity, this petite teapot showcases meticulous detailing. The flattened spherical body features fluid curves extending from spout to handle, both slightly upturned like spreading wings. This design combines aesthetic appeal with ergonomic comfort.
The spout incorporates nine diamond-shaped filter holes arranged in geometric precision. This innovative configuration ensures smooth pouring without leaf escape, effectively handling even fine tea particles while simplifying cleaning compared to single-hole teapots.
The lid demonstrates peak craftsmanship, achieving seamless integration with the body. Its crowning ornament - a peacock spreading tail feathers - employs triple-colored clays through clay-twisting technique. When viewed from above, the vibrant plumage appears lifelike.
Construction combines multiple complex techniques: traditional slab-forming for the body, separately shaped appendages, and precise color-blending for lid decorations. Mastery lies in controlling clay fusion during patterning - any miscalculation ruins the design.
Practically, this Chinese zisha teapot excels in brewing aromatic oolongs or pu-erhs. The aged clay gradually develops patina through use, enhancing its luster. Users should thoroughly clean after each session to prevent residue.
Master Jiang's creations, like this "Phoenix" piece blending tradition with modernity, are collector favorites. The peacock motif symbolizes Chinese cultural auspiciousness, reinterpreted through contemporary craftsmanship. These works function equally as tea utensils and enduring artworks.
For international enthusiasts, key details merit attention: test lid fit by rotating, observe cylindrical water flow indicating interior precision, and maintain with soft cloths avoiding chemicals.
Though compact, this handmade Yixing teapot encapsulates China's ceramic heritage. From material selection to firing, each step demands expertise. Such pieces using rare aged clays, fully handcrafted by senior artisans, grow increasingly scarce. Whether for tea service or artistic collection, it represents an exceptional choice.
