Exquisite Tianqing Clay Teapot: 40cc Handcrafted Egg-Bundle Design
$257.14Handmade Tianqing clay teapot with egg-bundle shape, 40cc capacity, internal filter, and traditional Yixing craftsmanship for optimal tea brewing.
The Yixing zisha teapot stands as one of China's traditional handicraft masterpieces. This fully handmade "Tiliang Danbao" purple clay teapot demonstrates the perfect integration of artisan expertise and natural materials. With a 40cc capacity, this compact teapot works equally well for solitary tea sessions or intimate gatherings.
The most striking feature is its arched handle design. The curved bridge-like structure connecting both sides of the body combines ergonomic functionality with elegant lines. Crafting such handles demands precise clay moisture control - overly soft clay warps while overly dry clay cracks, requiring decades of experience to achieve this flawless curvature.
The "egg pouch" shape forms another distinctive characteristic. The rotund vessel resembling an upright egg showcases seamless surfaces without edges. This form requires repeated clay slab beating and meticulous shaping. The lid fits so precisely that no leakage occurs when pouring, while the spout's angled cut ensures smooth water flow without dripping.
Crafted from rare premium Tianqing clay sourced from specific Yixing mines in Jiangsu, this zisha teapot develops a unique bluish-gray hue after firing. The 40cc compact design allows optimal tea leaf expansion for rapid aroma release. An internal filter mesh at the spout base effectively separates leaves without compromising flow rate.
Over 20 manual processes create such teapots - from mineral selection and clay refinement to shaping and slow-drying. Artisans skillfully manipulate wooden tools to beat clay forms with precise pressure. Kiln temperatures require strict control during firing, as excessive heat causes cracks while insufficient heat affects coloration. Each piece typically takes over a month to complete.
The dual-porosity structure of Chinese purple clay teapots enhances tea flavors by absorbing aromatic compounds over time. This small-capacity vessel particularly suits Pu'er and oolong teas requiring quick brewing. Clean only with water, avoiding detergents, and maintain interior dryness during storage.
Handle your handmade Yixing teapot with care to prevent impacts. Gently wipe surfaces with soft cloths to develop natural patina. Initial use requires boiling with tea broth for sterilization. Remove tea residues promptly after each use. A well-maintained teapot grows more lustrous with age, becoming a lifelong companion.
This purple clay teapot serves both as functional ware and collectible art. Each handcrafted piece carries unique variations, while the rare Tianqing clay elevates its value. Whether for daily use or as a cultural gift, it embodies the enduring charm of Chinese craftsmanship.
