Crafted by national-level senior craft artist Jiang Yaping, an expert in Yixing zisha teapot creation who studied under renowned master Gu Shaopei, this piece employs original mine pear-skin vermilion clay. Fired at high temperatures, this special material develops unique granular textures resembling natural pear skin. Its 220cc capacity balances daily practicality with delicate aesthetics.

The design reimagines the classic "Xishi teapot" silhouette. The spout resembles a fish mouth slightly opening as if blowing bubbles, while the lid knob mimics rolling waves, visually conveying the "aquatic joy" theme. The ergonomic handle combines modern aesthetics with comfortable grip through its wide-narrow structure.

Decoration was completed by Jiangsu ceramic art master Li Wei, professor and dean at Wuxi Institute of Arts and Crafts. He integrated traditional painting with teapot craftsmanship by engraving Xu Beihong's "Fox in Snowy Pines" painting on the front. The reverse features the poetic inscription "Leisurely watching spring waters with carefree heart" in fluid calligraphy.
