This Yixing teapot exemplifies the pinnacle of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. Named "Cloud Dragon," it represents a collaborative masterpiece by two distinguished artists. The teapot was crafted by Jiang Yaping, a nationally recognized senior craft artist who trained under renowned Zisha artist Gu Shaopei. Its decorative carvings were executed by Li Wei, a Jiangsu Provincial Ceramic Art Master holding prominent positions at multiple art institutions.

Constructed from original mineral pear-skin vermilion clay, this purple clay teapot exhibits a warm reddish hue with delicate pear-like textures—a unique characteristic achieved through years of clay aging. The 230ml capacity accommodates group tea sessions, while 14 diamond-shaped drainage holes ensure efficient pouring and tea-leaf filtration.

The Chinese Zisha teapot's design ingeniously balances form and function. Its flattened spherical body resembles a gently compressed full moon, ensuring ergonomic comfort. The precision-fitted lid remains leakproof during pouring, while its stepped surface design combines practicality with visual depth. The knob mirrors the body's shape, featuring a slightly flattened sphere for easy handling.

The Yixing teapot's spout and handle showcase exceptional artistry. The straight cylindrical spout delivers smooth, controlled pours, adorned with auspicious cloud patterns at its base. The handle innovatively integrates a dragon-head motif into traditional circular form, detailing every whisker and horn to embody majestic Eastern aesthetics.

Surface engravings elevate this handmade Yixing zisha teapot to extraordinary heights. Master Li Wei carved vigorous pine motifs on the front—twisted trunks and precise needles framing a sharp-eyed eagle symbolizing dominance. The reverse bears seven characters: "Jun Ru Qiu Ying Fang Zhen Yang," praising the eagle's majesty while alluding to tea drinkers' noble spirit. Engraved lines masterfully blend calligraphic grace with painterly expression.

This Yixing teapot harmonizes utility and artistry. The breathable pear-skin clay enhances tea flavor over time, while its balanced weight enables single-handed use. The engineered 14-hole filter prevents clogging, and components undergo dozens of refinements—lid movements produce crisp ceramic-like sounds.


As cultural embodiment, this Chinese Yixing zisha teapot weaves symbolic narratives: auspicious clouds, noble dragons, resilient pines, and visionary eagles infuse daily tea rituals with philosophical depth. Traditional techniques merge with modern aesthetics, creating timeless yet contemporary functionality.


For collectors, this purple clay teapot offers multidimensional value—Jiang's technical mastery, Li's artistic enhancements, and rare material selection converge into a practical heirloom. Through tea cultivation, it develops a unique patina and texture over time, becoming an irreplaceable artwork. Whether used or displayed, this synthesis of craft traditions delivers enduring aesthetic resonance.
