The purple clay teapot is a treasured representative of traditional Chinese handicrafts. Today's featured purple clay teapot, named "Stone Gourd with Overhead Handle," was personally crafted by national-level artisan Bao Yuhua. This Yixing teapot is made from aged zisha clay and has a 160ml capacity, suitable for both daily use and appreciation. The aged purple clay, a classic material for zisha teapots, develops enhanced texture through prolonged aging, better releasing tea aromas during brewing.

This Chinese zisha teapot embodies the classic "Eighteen Styles of Mansheng" design. The Stone Gourd shape combines practicality with artistic appeal, featuring a hemispherical body with smooth contours and natural granular texture characteristic of handmade Yixing teapots. Three small feet at the base ensure stability while creating an illusion of suspension, achieving unique visual balance.

The overhead handle constitutes the most striking feature of this Yixing zisha teapot. The arched handle extends upward from both sides of the body, forming an elegant curve that ensures comfortable grip while creating spatial aesthetics through negative space. When filling the teapot, light plays through the gap between handle and body, adding artistic charm to tea preparation.

The surface bears carved poetry: "Boiling white stones amidst green clouds, sipping from a gourd with Tongjun." Executed through traditional engraving techniques, these characters with varied stroke depths enhance cultural significance without compromising functionality. The verse depicts leisurely tea gatherings, evoking scholarly tea culture from ancient China.

As a tea tool, this handmade Yixing teapot demonstrates excellent functionality. The 160ml capacity serves 2-3 people, with a spout ensuring smooth pouring. The porous structure of zisha clay naturally absorbs tea essence - even plain water will carry subtle tea fragrance after prolonged use. Dedication to single tea type is recommended for optimal maintenance.

Proper care requires thorough rinsing after each use without chemical cleaners. Store in ventilated areas and handle regularly to maintain luster. Quality purple clay teapots develop a patina over time, recording the user's interaction with the vessel.

Artisan Bao Yuhua employed traditional slab-forming techniques, repeatedly beating moist clay to achieve uniform thickness - a process demanding exceptional skill. The precision-fitted lid remains secure even when inverted, demonstrating exquisite craftsmanship in this Chinese Yixing teapot.

For collectors, this purple clay teapot set offers both aesthetic and practical value. The timeless Stone Gourd shape gains contemporary appeal through its overhead handle. Whether displayed or held, it conveys traditional craftsmanship's warmth, serving not just as teaware but as cultural bridge connecting past and present.


When using zisha teapots, pre-warm with hot water before adding leaves. The heat-retentive material gradually releases tea aromas. Different clay types suit various teas - this aged zisha clay particularly enhances fermented teas like Pu'er, softening their flavor profile.


The "Stone Gourd with Overhead Handle" perfectly integrates artisan skill with cultural heritage. Every detail, from functional design to artistic form, reflects meticulous consideration. For tea enthusiasts, a fine Yixing teapot becomes a silent companion in tea rituals, embodying Eastern philosophy through each infusion. Tracing fingers across its warm surface connects users to the clay's transformative journey through kiln fires, retelling stories of rebirth through craftsmanship.
