Masterpiece Zisha Teapot: Rare 50-Year Clay, Handcrafted by Zhou Xinyuan & Xu Nan
$857.14Crafted with rare 50-year Zhuni clay, this 150CC Zisha teapot by Master Zhou Xinyuan and Xu Nan offers timeless artistry. Collector's edition at CNY 6000.
The Yixing teapot is one of the representative traditional handicrafts in China. It serves not only as a tea brewing utensil but also as a collectible artwork. This particular Yixing zisha teapot, named "Hexagonal Snowflake," belongs to collector-grade masterpieces. Created through the collaboration of multiple masters, it showcases the pinnacle of purple clay teapot craftsmanship.
The most distinctive feature lies in its clay material. The rare Yinchun Zhu clay, aged over fifty years through natural oxidation in the artist's private collection, develops exceptional smoothness. This crimson clay naturally exhibits metallic luster after firing. Teapots made with such aged material better preserve tea aromas and gradually develop beautiful patina through use.
Master Zhou Xinyuan, a National-level Senior Industrial Artisan, studied under Wang Yinchun's descendants - provincial masters Wang Xiaolong and Gao Lijun. This rigorous apprenticeship system ensures authentic yet innovative craftsmanship. The teapot's body decoration by Jiangsu Provincial Master Xu Nan features exquisite snowflake patterns on six facets, combining traditional engraving techniques with contemporary aesthetics.
This zisha teapot embodies the classic hexagonal shape symbolizing China's "Six Harmonies" concept. Each 150CC dimension demonstrates precise symmetry, with leak-proof lid alignment and ergonomic three-curved spout. The handmade process involves over forty days of meticulous clay slab kneading, shaping, and polishing, making each piece uniquely vital compared to mold-produced counterparts.
When brewing tea, its dual-pore structure optimally aerates fermented teas like Pu'er. Long-term use allows tea essence to permeate the clay, eventually emitting fragrance without leaves. As collectibles, such purple clay teapots gain value through rare materials, master collaborations, and time-honored techniques.
Proper maintenance involves initial tea-water seasoning, avoiding detergents, thorough drying, and shaded storage. With care, the teapot develops increasing luster. This "Hexagonal Snowflake" masterpiece blends ancestral wisdom with modern sensibilities, serving both as functional ware and spiritual props connecting users to China's profound craft heritage.
