This zisha teapot uses premium Dahongpao clay from Jiangsu Yixing, firing to a persimmon-red hue with natural luster. The 50cc capacity makes it perfect for solo tea sessions, maintaining optimal temperature for oolong or pu'er. Master Fan Zhen, a national craft artist trained under renowned master Cui Longxi, created this set. His works have won multiple national awards and participated in major exhibitions.

The production process astonishes - squirrels' fur textures require different engraving tools, while grape leaf veins are carved thinner than hair strands under magnification. Each matching piece in the set undergoes repeated adjustments for perfect alignment. As collectibles, these handmade Yixing teapots appreciate in value, with Fan Zhen producing limited numbered pieces annually accompanied by authenticity certificates.
