Fan Zhen’s “Bamboo Ascension” Yixing Teapot: Award-Winning Artistry in Sumatran Cobalt Clay
$300.00Expert-made Yixing teapot using premium cobalt-blended clay, 5-stage firing process, 400cc capacity with bamboo motif. Award-winning craftsmanship by certified artist Fan Zhen.
The Yixing purple clay teapot represents traditional Chinese craftsmanship, combining practical functionality with profound cultural significance. This particular teapot named "Ascending Bamboo Section" was handcrafted by Fan Zhen, a national-level ceramic artist. It showcases exceptional mastery of purple clay artistry.
Crafted from rare "Sumatran Blue" clay belonging to premium cobalt-oxide enhanced benlü category, this teapot requires five meticulous firings and months of production time. The complex process results in extremely low success rate, with each successful piece embodying intense dedication. The 400cc capacity accommodates group tea sessions, featuring bamboo-inspired shaping with naturalistic spout and handle. Nine internal filter holes ensure optimal tea infusion and water flow.
Fan Zhen, inheritor of this heritage, trained under senior craftsman Cui Longxi and carries family expertise from his mother, a renowned floral-style artisan from the original Yixing Factory. His works spanning floral, round, square, and ribbed designs have won national handmade competitions and become collector's items. The bamboo motif symbolizes upward growth, making it ideal for gifts or heirloom collections. Through use, the teapot develops a lustrous patina, deepening in color and historical character over time.
This purple clay teapot enhances tea brewing through its porous nature that improves flavor retention. For optimal results, dedicate it to specific tea types and clean gently after each use. Collectors benefit from video authentication and personalized certificates documenting production details. As contemporary interpretation of classical techniques, it holds strong market potential.
Proper maintenance begins with initial boiling sterilization. Avoid oil contamination and allow periodic drying between uses. Ideal for fermented teas like Pu'er and Oolong, its 400cc volume balances social serving with brewing precision. The bamboo-lid design maintains consistent water temperature for superior infusion quality.
In modern fast-paced society, handmade Yixing teapots preserve artisanal warmth. Each Fan Zhen creation undergoes 30+ manual processes, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. As unique functional art, these teapots maintain enduring status in tea culture, evolving with users through decades of shared experiences.
