This Yixing teapot is named "Han Duo," with its design inspired by bronze vessels from China's ancient Han Dynasty. The purple clay teapot resembles an inverted bell, featuring strong, clean lines that evoke Eastern antiquity. Natural wrinkled textures adorn its surface, showcasing the material’s unique character. When touched, the body reveals a subtle granularity—smooth enough for comfort yet textured for secure handling.

Crafted from rare "Jipin Zhoupizhuni" clay sourced from specific mines in Yixing, this material undergoes years of natural weathering before use. During firing, the dark-red clay transforms into vibrant orange-red. Over time, the color deepens into a jade-like warmth. With a 220-milliliter capacity, the teapot suits solo use or sharing with friends. Its spout ensures uninterrupted pouring, while nine evenly distributed filter holes prevent leaf leakage. Notably, the lid stays secure even at extreme angles, reflecting meticulous craftsmanship.

Created by Sun Jianfang, a nationally certified craft artist with three decades of experience, this handmade Yixing zisha teapot blends traditional techniques with modern aesthetics. Using wooden tools, Sun shapes clay slabs entirely by hand, refining each piece over three days for flawless assembly. The teapot’s dual-porosity structure retains heat exceptionally well and gradually absorbs tea aromas—even water poured into a seasoned pot carries a subtle tea fragrance. Preheat it with hot water for 30 seconds to enhance flavor release.

Maintenance requires gentle care: rinse thoroughly after use without chemicals, air-dry naturally, and store ventilated to avoid moisture. Properly maintained, the chinese zisha teapot develops a soft patina over time. As both a functional tool and heirloom, the "Han Duo" gains value with age, attracting collectors. Its base bears the maker’s seal, authenticating its origins.
