The teapot utilizes 100-mesh aged Zini clay as raw material. Aged Zini refers to clay stored for over a decade. Through prolonged natural oxidation, mineral components in this Chinese purple clay teapot material stabilize completely. The handmade Yixing teapot surface exhibits warm luster immediately after firing, with colors becoming increasingly glossy through use. This characteristic simplifies maintenance, making it beginner-friendly.

The decoration combines clay painting and carving techniques. Master Wu first applies colored zisha pigments on the teapot body, then meticulously carves patterns on the painted surface. This dual process creates three-dimensional designs preserving hand-painted vitality. Carefully arranged patterns show fluid lines and varying details from different angles. All five teacups feature matching decorations ensuring visual consistency.
