This Yixing purple clay teapot was handcrafted by national-level craft artist Chen Weiming, who possesses over three decades of teapot-making experience. Master Chen's works are widely recognized for their exquisite craftsmanship and distinctive style. The clay material uses precious Dahongpao raw ore sourced from Huanglong Mountain mining area in Dingshu Town, Yixing, China. Known as "gold in clay," this material develops warmer reddish tones through firing and deepens in luster with prolonged use.
