The purple clay teapot is a treasured representative of traditional Chinese handicrafts. Today's featured teapot, named "Auspicious Dragon and Phoenix," was created by national-level senior craft artist Jiang Yaping. As a distinguished student of master potter Gu Shaopei, Jiang demonstrates profound craftsmanship in this work. This zisha teapot perfectly integrates sculpting techniques, traditional pottery skills, and classical culture, embodying both practical utility and artistic value.
Crafted from Republic-era green clay mineral, this 60ml capacity yixing teapot exhibits unique dark green hues with natural mineral textures. The aged clay ensures tight structural integrity after firing, offering comfortable weight distribution that balances substance without compromising usability.
The rounded body resembles a polished pebble, with elegant neck contours and four classic feet ensuring stable placement. The precision-fit lid rotates smoothly on its mirrored surface. A phoenix-shaped knob displays detailed feather textures, while the dragon-head spout curves upward and the handle follows dragon-body contours - all carved integrally with the main body, showcasing three-dimensional mastery.
Practical features include drip-free pouring from specially treated spouts and 14 rhombic filter holes ensuring smooth flow. The 60ml capacity ideally suits aromatic teas like Tieguanyin or Dancong, optimizing fragrance extraction without over-brewing.
Proper maintenance involves initial tea-soaking and thorough drying after use. Over time, the Republic-era green clay develops jade-like patina through careful nurturing. Dragon and phoenix motifs symbolizing harmony balance traditional gravitas with modern aesthetics, transforming mythology into tangible art.
Collectors value this handmade yixing zisha teapot for its uniqueness, artist signature, and dual functionality as both collectible and daily utensil. Its compact size invites tactile appreciation while appreciating in worth over time. The intricate process - from clay selection to sculpting and high-temperature firing - requires dozens of steps, evident in the lid-body precision.
Whether for tea brewing or artistic appreciation, this chinese purple clay teapot preserves traditional virtues while offering fresh design perspectives. For those exploring Eastern tea culture, it serves as an ideal bridge - merging beauty and practicality in authentic Chinese craftsmanship.
