Masterpiece Yixing Zisha Teapot: Classic Ruyi Design & Dragon's Blood Clay Craftsmanship
$600.00Yang Hongwei's 40cc Yixing teapot, crafted from Dragon's Blood Clay using ancestral techniques. A National Senior Artist's masterpiece blending Ruyi symbolism with full-handmade precision.
The Yixing purple clay teapot is a treasure among traditional Chinese handicrafts, with those produced in Yixing, Jiangsu being the most renowned. More than just a tea-brewing tool, it embodies cultural significance as an artistic medium. The "Antique Ruyi" teapot introduced here, handcrafted by national senior craft artist Yang Hongwei, showcases exquisite purple clay craftsmanship.
This Chinese purple clay teapot utilizes rare raw "Dragon's Blood Sand" clay. As one of the scarcest zisha clay varieties, it exhibits deep hues with crimson undertones resembling dried dragon's blood. Rich in minerals, this clay forms unique double-pore structures after high-temperature firing. When brewing tea, such Yixing teapots better preserve tea aromas while preventing deterioration, accumulating fragrance through prolonged use.
With a 40cc capacity, this handmade Yixing teapot belongs to the compact category. Its size facilitates single-serving use and precise concentration control during brewing. The small volume encourages focused tea preparation while maintaining optimal pouring temperature. Despite its modest proportions, carefully calculated body contours ensure stable grip and comfortable handling.
Featuring the classic "Antique" silhouette - a traditional zisha teapot shape - the design modernizes classical aesthetics rather than merely replicating ancient vessels. The rounded body tapers slightly at the mouth, with a perfectly fitted lid. Distinctive ruyi patterns adorn the knob and handle, symbolizing good fortune while providing anti-slip functionality through entirely hand-carved textures.
Craftsman Yang Hongwei, inheritor of Xu-style zisha techniques, integrates feminine delicacy into her creations. Each step from clay slab preparation to body formation relies on manual craftsmanship. A fully handmade Yixing purple clay teapot requires at least fifteen days of meticulous shaping to harmonize spout, handle, and body. The recessed filter ensures smooth water flow and clean dripping cessation.
Proper maintenance involves initial "pot awakening" with tea rinses and daily oil-free cleaning. Over time, the purple clay teapot develops a lustrous patina, deepening in color and transparency. Quality teapots establish spiritual props with owners, becoming cherished companions through years of use.
The "Antique Ruyi" exemplifies fusion between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary taste. Dragon's Blood Sand's natural texture complements ruyi patterns' cultural symbolism, offering both utility and collectible value. For tea enthusiasts, this handmade Yixing teapot transcends functionality as a heritage-worthy artwork. Through daily interaction, users witness its gradual transformation, experiencing the profound joy of nurturing a teapot across generations.
