This Yixing teapot, named "Tranquil Joy," is a special edition crafted for the Lunar New Year. Utilizing traditional Chinese hand-building techniques, its plump rounded form nestles comfortably in the palm. The surface reveals the natural granular texture of Yixing's unique Di Cao Qing clay, fired to showcase countless micro-pores that enhance tea oxygenation during brewing.

Designed with 160ml capacity ideal for 1-2 drinkers, the 7cm-high vessel features an upturned spout ensuring drip-free pouring. The lid demonstrates handmade precision - rotating it produces faint friction sounds indicating perfect seal. Inside lies an innovative push-ball filter system, where hemispherical holes replace traditional single-hole designs to trap fine tea particles while maintaining optimal flow. Smooth cavities allow easy residue removal under running water.

A pro tip: Preheat the teapot with hot water before adding tea leaves. The Di Cao Qing clay releases subtle mineral aromas when warmed, gradually infusing the brew. Avoid detergents - simply air-dry after use to develop natural patina over time. Ideal for fermented teas like Pu'er or black tea, its size facilitates single-handed operation. Listen for the characteristic "hissing" as pores absorb water - an authentic quality indicator.

New users should handle carefully: Though durable, the spout and handle remain vulnerable. Store in ventilated cabinets when unused, and cushion with tea towels during handling. Regular exterior rinsing with tea liquor enhances surface luster. The teapot's standout feature is its flawless pouring arc - water emerges in unbroken cylindrical streams at 45° tilt, with polished spout edges preventing dribbles.

As New Year special edition, it bears the artisan's seal on the base and cloud patterns symbolizing auspiciousness where handle meets body. The gift box includes pictorial instructions for initial seasoning and maintenance. Whether for personal use or gifting, it elevates tea rituals with warmth. Over years, the clay will transition from deep brown to mellow reddish tones as tea oils permeate the pores. This evolving interaction between user and object embodies the handmade purple clay teapot's enduring charm.
