Rare 108-Rib Yixing Teapot: Master Zhou Jianliang’s Collectible Artistry in Tianqing Clay
$514.29Master Zhou Jianliang's 50CC Yixing teapot features rare Tianqing clay and intricate 108-rib纹理, embodying decades of handmade craftsmanship for collectors.
Today I recommend a collectible masterpiece - the "108-Ribbed Beauty Shoulder" purple clay teapot. This Yixing teapot achieves exceptional standards in both craftsmanship and material selection. Its name originates from 108 three-dimensional ribs evenly distributed across the body, presenting silky-smooth textures that create unique aesthetic appeal.
The raw material is particularly special - rare celestial azure clay unseen in markets, personally preserved by the artisan for over thirty years. Through natural aging, minerals fully integrate, developing warm blue-gray luster after firing. Fingertips gliding across the surface encounter texture resembling infant skin.
Created by Zhou Jianliang (art name "Master Zhou"), a national-level senior craft artist with forty years' experience, each handmade zisha teapot undergoes his personal supervision from clay slab forming to shaping, carving, and firing. Crafting such complex ribbed patterns requires continuous 20-day efforts where any mistake ruins the work.
With 50CC capacity, this petite Chinese Yixing teapot remains highly functional. Ideal for brewing pu'er or black tea requiring high temperatures, its spout ensures smooth pouring without dripping. The lid fits seamlessly - inverted positioning causes no displacement.
Inspired by ancient feminine shoulder curves, the teapot's silhouette flows gracefully. The 108 ribs not only demonstrate technical mastery but symbolize completeness in traditional culture (108 representing perfection). Rotating the vessel reveals mesmerizing light-shadow interplay resembling flowing water.
Its uniqueness lies in absolute individuality - no identical pieces exist worldwide. High-fired celestial azure clay gradually changes hue through use. Regular tea nourishment develops jade-like patina over time, resembling time-honed gemstones.
Collectors value this Yixing zisha teapot through triple lenses: artistic (peak traditional craftsmanship), material (rare clay), and practical (enhanced tea experience). Even as display piece, it elevates tea ceremony aesthetics.
Maintenance requires specific care: 24-hour water immersion before initial use, prompt cleaning without chemicals post-brewing, dedicated single-tea usage for aroma infusion, and ventilated storage during inactivity.
Genuine handmade purple clay teapots like this become increasingly scarce. Whether for personal collection or as gift for tea enthusiasts, it embodies refined taste - not merely functional ware but inheritable artwork.
Final reminder: Verify authenticity through Master Zhou's exclusive seal and certificate. Magnified inspection reveals handmade clay textures and tool marks. Suspiciously low-priced or mass-produced counterparts likely indicate replicas.
