Masterpiece Yixing Teapot: Dragon Back Green Clay Crafted by Xu Yuanming's Disciples
$600.00Handmade 50cc Yixing teapot with Dragon Back Green clay, co-designed by Xu Yuanming's disciple and master decorator Xu Nan. Collector's item at CNY 4200.
The Yixing zisha teapot stands as a treasure among Chinese traditional handicrafts, with those produced in Yixing, Jiangsu being the most renowned. Its creation involves complex craftsmanship including clay selection, refining, body forming, carving, and firing. Each zisha teapot serves not only as functional tea ware but also embodies artisans' wisdom. This particular handmade Yixing teapot originates from the "Gu-Xu School" tradition, crafted and decorated by contemporary masters in the field.
Named "Double Circle," this purple clay teapot continues the legacy of Master Gu Jingzhou, a 20th-century legend revered as the "Great Master of Teapot Art," known for his minimalist shapes and exquisite craftsmanship. The Xu School, inheriting Gu's techniques, focuses on preserving and innovating traditional methods. Created by Wu Yawei, a National Senior Craft Artist and protégé of Jiangsu Provincial Craft Master Xu Yuanming, this teapot reflects two decades of training in balancing proportions and lines while blending traditional essence with modern aesthetics.
Decoration was completed by another Jiangsu master, Xu Nan, renowned for natural landscape and floral engravings. His precise carvings on this Chinese zisha teapot enhance artistic value without compromising grip comfort. Their collaboration exemplifies traditional craftsmanship's cooperative spirit, merging functionality with visual appeal.
Crafted from rare "Longbei Qing" clay sourced from Yixing's Huanglong Mountain, this Yixing purple clay teapot reveals unique bluish-gray hues with golden speckles after firing, resembling starlit skies. Through prolonged use, it develops a luminous patina while improving tea flavor through its mineral-rich composition.
With a 50cc capacity, this compact Yixing teapot perfectly brews aromatic teas like Phoenix Dancong or Wuyi Rock. Its small size ensures quick steeping to prevent bitterness, featuring an ergonomic design with drip-free spout. Despite its miniature scale, precision engineering ensures perfect lid fitment for optimal aroma preservation.
Creating such a zisha teapot demands months of clay preparation involving weathering, grinding, and aging. The body-shaping process employs traditional slab-pounding techniques. The signature twin decorative rings pose technical challenges, requiring identical size and curvature to maintain visual harmony.
As daily tea ware, this handmade zisha teapot boasts exceptional breathability due to its dual-pore structure, allowing tea to stay fresh longer. With extended use, it absorbs tea essence, eventually emitting fragrance even when empty. Simple rinsing and air-drying suffice for maintenance.
Collectors value this Chinese Yixing teapot for three aspects: Master lineage representing peak contemporary craftsmanship; rarity of limited Longbei Qing clay; and meticulous details showcasing traditional perfection. Whether for tea enjoyment or artistic collection, this purple clay teapot set fulfills expectations for refined living through spiritual props of cultural heritage.
