Zhao Mingmin, a provincial-level master craftsman from Jiangsu Province, holds the title of researcher-level senior craft artist.

This teapot utilizes premium raw zini clay from Yixing, Jiangsu Province. The mineral-rich clay forms a unique dual-pore structure after high-temperature firing. Yixing zisha teapots made with this material demonstrate excellent breathability for preserving tea aroma. With prolonged use, the surface develops a distinctive warm patina.

Crafting such purple clay teapots involves over ten meticulous stages - from clay selection and purification to hand-shaping, shade-drying, carving, and kiln-firing. Zhao particularly focuses on functional details like spout angles and handle curvature through repeated adjustments, achieving perfect balance between utility and aesthetics.
