Artisan-Crafted Beauty’s Shoulder Yixing Teapot: Masterpiece in Aged Purple Clay
$171.43Handmade Yixing teapot Beauty’s Shoulder using aged Zisha clay, 280cc capacity. Expertly crafted by veteran artisans, priced at $1200.
The Yixing teapot is a unique representative of traditional Chinese tea utensils, renowned for its natural clay and handmade craftsmanship. "Meiren Jian" (Beauty's Shoulder) is a classic purple clay teapot whose name derives from the soft lines of its body, resembling the rounded shoulders of ancient women. This teapot is crafted from aged raw purple clay, featuring a deep color and visible natural mineral particles on its surface. Aged raw purple clay belongs to a rare category of Zisha clay, becoming more stable after prolonged storage. Teapots made from this clay better preserve the aroma of tea during brewing.
With a capacity of 280cc, this Chinese Yixing zisha teapot is ideal for serving three to four people. Its full-bodied design includes a slightly upturned spout ensuring smooth pouring without dripping. The curved handle comfortably fits fingers, while the tightly fitted lid produces delicate friction when rotated—a hallmark of handmade quality. Subtle tool marks on the surface reveal the artisan's meticulous craftsmanship, adding warm handmade character.
The craftsmen behind this handmade Yixing teapot are respected masters in the field. Having studied Zisha teapot techniques since childhood, they require over a decade of experience to master the entire process from clay selection to firing. These artisans adapt their methods to clay characteristics, such as accounting for the high shrinkage rate of aged raw purple clay by leaving room for deformation during firing. Each "Meiren Jian" teapot undergoes at least three kiln firings at approximately 1,100 degrees Celsius, ensuring both durability and breathability.
Using a purple clay teapot offers multiple benefits. The natural double-pore structure of Zisha clay gradually absorbs tea aromas, enhancing flavor over time. This 280cc Yixing purple clay teapot particularly suits fermented teas like Pu'er and black tea, its spacious body allowing full leaf expansion. For initial use, rinse with warm water followed by steeping tea for half a day to activate the teapot's properties.
Maintenance requires specific care: promptly remove tea residues after use without harsh scrubbing or detergents. Rinse with water and air-dry, resting the lid diagonally on the rim for ventilation. Store unused teapots in dry, shaded areas. Quality Zisha teapots develop a lustrous patina over time, their original dark purple hue gradually transforming into warm translucence.
The "Meiren Jian" Yixing zisha teapot serves not only as functional ware but also as collectible art. Master artisans blend traditional forms with modern aesthetics, achieving harmonious proportions. The knob resembling a small bead ensures comfortable handling, while the artist's seal engraved on the base guarantees authenticity. For tea enthusiasts, such a Chinese purple clay teapot becomes a lifelong companion and spiritual prop in daily life.
Increasingly appreciated today, handmade Zisha teapots offer irreplaceable warmth compared to machine-made alternatives. This "Meiren Jian" teapot crafted from aged raw purple clay fulfills both practical tea-making needs and artistic appreciation. Each time it's used, one senses the reassurance and fulfillment embedded in centuries-old craftsmanship.
