Creating such a Yixing zisha teapot demands significant time. Artisans repeatedly pound clay to remove air bubbles before hand-shaping. Bamboo leaf textures get carved during semi-dry stages using specialized tools. After separately crafting and attaching spout/handle components, final adjustments and polishing require approximately two weeks.
