Crafted from aged Zini clay sourced from original mineral deposits, this handmade Yixing teapot showcases a deep, rich hue after decades of natural aging. The surface reveals fine natural granules, while tactile contact with the teapot’s body offers a warm, jade-like texture reminiscent of time-honored polish. The characteristic breathability of Chinese Zisha teapots is fully embodied here, with prolonged use enhancing the mellow flavor of brewed tea.

The teapot’s most striking feature lies in its architectural design. The quadrangular body incorporates rounded edges, preserving geometric elegance while ensuring comfortable handling. A three-dimensional dragon ornament adorns the lid, featuring intricately carved whiskers and scales. The spout, shaped as a dragon’s head, creates dynamic visual effects during pouring, mimicking mythical creatures spouting water.

Surface decorations depict the "Carp Leaping Dragon Gate" legend using colored clay pigments. Vibrant carps appear mid-leap through turbulent currents, rendered with lifelike water splash details. The celestial gate above, encircled by auspicious clouds and accented with golden patterns, symbolizes the ancient Chinese allegory of transformation through perseverance.

Created by Master Mo, a national-level craft artist, this Chinese Yixing Zisha teapot employs traditional slab-forming techniques. Interior surfaces bear authentic hand-beaten textures impossible to replicate mechanically. The precision-fit lid remains securely in place even when inverted, demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship.

Designed with 270ml capacity for 2-3 tea drinkers, the handle’s flying dragon configuration allows natural thumb placement on the horn-shaped grip. Practical testing confirms stable weight distribution for single-handed use, complemented by smooth water flow and clean drip-free stops.

Maintenance requires specific care: initial boiling with tea water eliminates clay aroma, prompt post-brew cleaning prevents residue buildup, and regular polishing with tea cloths gradually develops luminous patina. The deep purple tones will deepen over time, acquiring living vitality through use.
