This Yixing teapot was personally recommended by Master Yang Peng and crafted using fully handmade techniques.

The clay used originates from rare 1970s Dahongpao mineral stock, naturally aged for fifty years to achieve a texture as smooth as a baby's skin. Rich in natural minerals, the high-fired body radiates a warm ruby glow reminiscent of antique patina. The zisha teapot shape embodies Eastern wisdom through its classic Xu Bian form - a wide, flattened body with low center of gravity. The 170CC capacity suits 2-3 drinkers, while the precision-crafted spout creates elegant pouring arcs without dripping.

Surface decorations showcase imperial cloisonné techniques with gold/silver inlays that withstand daily use. Each pattern requires dozens of processes, taking craftsmen half a month to complete. When brewing tea, the Yixing teapot's dual porous structure enhances flavor without overpowering the tea. Its moderate wall thickness maintains optimal temperature, while the chemical-free clay ensures safety.
