Artisan Xu Aiping's Golden Chrysanthemum Clay Teapot: 260cc Handcrafted Treasure
$514.29A 260cc handcrafted Yixing teapot using premium golden clay, designed by award-winning artist Xu Aiping for tea connoisseurs and collectors.
The Yixing purple clay teapot stands as one of the most representative traditional Chinese handicrafts in tea ware. Originating from Yixing, Jiangsu Province, this centuries-old artifact serves not only for brewing tea but also as collectible art. Today's featured piece, the Chrysanthemum Bud Teapot, represents a collector-grade creation from a national-level master artisan.
Crafted from original mineral golden vermilion clay, this precious zisha material exhibits warm hues with natural luster. When fired, the surface develops unique granular textures as delicate as infant skin. Through prolonged use, handmade Yixing zisha teapots made with this clay gradually acquire richer patina.
With 260cc capacity, this medium-sized purple clay teapot balances practical tea brewing needs with ergonomic handling. Its design draws inspiration from blooming chrysanthemums - the lid mimics layered petals while the spout and handle flow like wind-kissed leaves, creating vibrant organic vitality.
Master Xu Aiping, the creator, holds dual certifications as National Senior Craft Artist and First-Class Technician. With over three decades of Yixing teapot craftsmanship, she skillfully blends traditional techniques with modern aesthetics. Each Chinese Yixing zisha teapot undergoes rigorous quality control to meet supreme standards.
This Chrysanthemum Bud Teapot exemplifies fully handmade craftsmanship. From clay slab forming to sculpting, every step requires precise force control. The lid-body fitment particularly tests skill, demanding seamless closure without adhesion. Such handmade Yixing teapots remain unique art pieces.
The purple clay teapot's dual-pore structure effectively preserves tea aroma while filtering impurities. Long-term use imbues the vessel with natural tea fragrance - even empty pots release subtle scents when filled with water. Golden vermilion clay especially enhances fermented teas like pu'erh, enriching their smoothness.
Proper maintenance involves initial tea-water boiling to eliminate earthy odors. Daily cleaning requires prompt rinsing without chemicals, using soft cloths only. Dedicate specific Chinese purple clay teapots to particular tea varieties to develop signature aromatic memories.
As collectible art, this teapot embodies multiple values: exceptional craftsmanship surpassing ordinary utensils, chrysanthemum-inspired Oriental aesthetics, and cultural heritage preserving ancient wisdom. For collectors, it's both functional tool and transmissible cultural treasure.
Despite modern mold-production trends, fully handmade pieces like this remain revered. Each detail consumes weeks of meticulous work, embodying the perfectionist spirit sustaining zisha culture through centuries.
For newcomers, start with basic shapes. Examine symmetry, lid fitment, and handle ergonomics. Control water temperature to prevent thermal shock cracks. With proper care, a quality Yixing teapot can accompany its owner for decades, becoming both practical tool and spiritual prop.
