Ancient Dragon Kiln Fired Yixing Teapot: Artisan Fan Caiqin's Rare Handcrafted Masterpiece
$342.86Handmade Yixing teapot with dragon kiln firing. Natural golden clay, ergonomic design, perfect for tea lovers. Limited edition at 2400 yuan.
Today I want to recommend an extraordinary Yixing purple clay teapot. This handmade Yixing zisha teapot was created by national-level craft artist Fan Caiqin, using premium original ore golden duan clay. Its most distinctive feature lies in the firing technique - completed through ancient dragon kiln wood-fired process. This traditional method has become exceedingly rare today, with extremely challenging procedures and low success rates, making each surviving teapot particularly precious.
The zisha teapot master's design showcases unique characteristics. The pot body presents a flattened spherical shape with smooth contours, offering comfortable ergonomic grip. The surface preserves natural wood-firing traces showing flame-kissed color gradients on the clay. These organic patterns make each Chinese zisha teapot an irreplicable artwork. The precisely curved spout ensures drip-free pouring, while the lid fits snugly without wobbling.
The ancient dragon kiln technique represents one of zisha teapot making's most traditional methods. Raw teapot bodies are placed in mountain-built dragon-shaped kilns, fueled solely by wood with manual temperature control. Craftsmen continuously monitor flames for over 30 hours. This high-temperature firing creates special chromatic changes and natural flame textures, though many teapots crack or warp during process - explaining the low yield.
As daily tea ware, this handmade Yixing teapot offers practical advantages. Its 180ml capacity suits personal use or small gatherings. The flattened shape not only looks elegant but warms hands in winter. The wood-fired golden duan clay develops excellent breathability that absorbs tea aromas over time. It particularly enhances the mellow texture of fermented teas like pu'er and black tea.
Maintaining this Chinese Yixing teapot is simple. Initial preparation involves three cold-water boiling cycles. Regular cleaning requires only water rinsing without detergents. Natural luster develops through prolonged use. Avoid contact with oils or cosmetics to preserve clay breathability.
For collectors, this purple clay teapot set holds dual value as functional tool and collectible craft. The fading dragon kiln technique makes such well-preserved specimens increasingly rare. Free from chemical glazes, its beauty derives solely from natural clay and fire artistry. Whether displayed or handled, it radiates traditional craftsmanship warmth.
Notably, this Yixing teapot shape adapts perfectly to modern lifestyles. Measuring 7cm height and 12cm diameter, it fits comfortably on desks or tea trays. Weighing approximately 200 grams, it's comfortable for prolonged use. The base bears Fan Caiqin's authentic signature, certifying its originality. For those seeking traditional charm with contemporary practicality, this handmade Yixing zisha teapot deserves serious consideration.
