Masterpiece Dragon Egg Zisha Teapot: Handcrafted by National Artisan Sun Jianfang
$128.57Handmade 20cc zisha teapot with 14-hole spout, crafted by artisan Sun Jianfang using premium purple clay for superior tea brewing.
The Yixing teapot stands as one of the iconic representatives of Chinese traditional craftsmanship. Today's featured teapot carries a distinctive name - "Dragon Egg". Its plump, rounded form with smooth flowing lines resembles a polished pebble. This unique shape not only ensures comfortable handling but also adds playful charm to daily tea brewing rituals.
Crafted from rare Zisha clay known as "Purple Robe Jade Sand", this purple clay teapot develops natural granular textures through high-temperature firing. The surface reveals silk-like smoothness when touched. The characteristic dual-porosity structure allows tea leaves to "breathe" freely within the vessel, preventing stale flavors even during prolonged steeping.
With a compact 20cc capacity, this handmade Yixing zisha teapot proves ideal for personal enjoyment or intimate gatherings. Despite its petite size, the spout features fourteen precisely arranged drainage holes that ensure smooth pouring and effective tea leaf filtration.
Master artisan Sun Jianfang, a national-level craft artist with three decades of experience, created this piece. The flawless fit between lid and rim demonstrates exceptional skill - the lid remains securely in place even when inverted with water.
When using this Chinese Yixing teapot, begin by rinsing with warm water. For initial seasoning, brew weak tea and let it sit for half day. Daily maintenance requires only soft cloth cleaning, avoiding chemical detergents. Over time, the surface develops a lustrous patina through regular use.
The ergonomic spherical knob mirrors the teapot's organic shape, while the carefully calibrated handle curvature ensures balanced weight distribution during pouring. Even those with smaller hands can operate this Yixing purple clay teapot single-handedly with ease.
Collectors appreciate this china purple clay teapot for both functionality and artistic value. Each piece bears the craftsman's seal on its base, guaranteeing authenticity. The gradual color transformation through use creates personalized tea-drinking experiences, making maintenance itself a rewarding process.
Adaptable to modern lifestyles, this 20cc teapot works equally well in office settings or traditional tea ceremonies. Its size optimally suits aromatic oolongs like Tieguanyin or Dancong, preventing overbrewing.
Proper care involves avoiding thermal shocks - always pre-warm with hot water before use. After brewing, promptly remove tea residues. For long-term storage, ensure complete dryness. With conscientious maintenance, this Yixing teapot can become a lifelong companion in tea rituals.
The "Dragon Egg" exemplifies harmonious fusion of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics. While preserving the natural breathability intrinsic to Zisha teapots, it incorporates innovative refinements in detail. For international tea enthusiasts exploring Chinese tea culture, this functional yet artistic purple clay teapot set serves as an perfect introductory piece.
