Exquisite Collector's Grade Dragon Xu Bian Yixing Clay Teapot by Master Zhang Guowei
$471.43Collector's Zisha teapot with aged purple clay, 40cc, fully handcrafted by master Zhang Guowei. A timeless art piece for tea enthusiasts.
The Yixing zisha teapot is a treasure among Chinese traditional handicrafts. Originating from Yixing City in Jiangsu Province, China, it boasts a history spanning centuries. These teapots are not only functional for brewing tea but also serve as artworks and collectibles. Each handmade purple clay teapot embodies the artisan's wisdom and dedication, carrying unique cultural significance. Today's featured Yixing zisha teapot is a collector-grade masterpiece named "Dragon Xu Bian."
Crafted from aged zini clay sourced from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing, this natural mineral material undergoes years of natural weathering to achieve exceptional fineness. When fired, the clay reveals a deep purple hue with natural luster. The 40cc capacity makes it ideal for solo tea appreciation, while its porous structure optimally preserves tea aroma.
Artisan Zhang Guowei, a National-level Senior Craft Artist and protégé of master Ji Yishun (an internationally renowned figure in zisha teapot artistry), created this piece. Inheriting traditional techniques while incorporating innovation, Zhang demonstrates peak craftsmanship through this "Dragon Xu Bian" teapot.
Entirely handmade through 30+ processes, the teapot features the classic "Xu Bian" silhouette with lotus leaf-inspired curves. The lid forms an airtight seal, while the dragon-shaped knob showcases meticulously carved scales and whiskers. Made from premium aged zini clay, it resists flavor absorption and develops natural patina over time. The compact size excels in brewing aromatic teas like Tieguanyin or Dancong.
As a collectible, this Yixing purple clay teapot holds triple value: craftsmanship authenticity through manual creation, artistic merit via dragon motifs symbolizing Chinese culture, and material rarity of original zini clay. Proper maintenance involves rinsing with warm water, avoiding detergents, and air-drying after use.
For tea enthusiasts, owning such a teapot offers daily utility and heirloom potential. The "Dragon Xu Bian" exemplifies China's artisan legacy while enhancing tea experiences. With diminishing clay resources and time-intensive production (artisans create few pieces annually), collector-grade teapots like this appreciate steadily. Acquiring exceptional works promptly remains wise for connoisseurs.
