This zisha teapot utilizes rare "Dragonback Celadon" clay, considered the finest grade of zisha material. Sourced from Huanglong Mountain's surface layer like dragon scales, this ultra-thin mineral stratum yields extremely limited annual production. During crafting, the clay reveals unique bluish-purple tones that gradually warm with use. Purple clay teapot enthusiasts note this material develops increasing luster over time.
