Masterpiece Tri-Foot Stone Ladle Teapot by Artisan Bao Yuhua | Zisha Clay Craft
$171.43Handcrafted 10cc Zisha teapot with tripod stability, diamond-patterned spout, and artistic clay inlays. Expertly designed by Master Bao Yuhua using rare purple clay.
Today we introduce a collectible masterpiece - the "Three-legged Shipiao" Yixing purple clay teapot. Handcrafted by Chinese national craft artist Bao Yuhua, this zisha teapot perfectly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. Every detail demonstrates meticulous design, offering both practical functionality and artistic value.
Crafted from rare original family-stored purple clay (zini), this handmade Yixing teapot uses premium material that becomes finer through prolonged aging. Its 10cc capacity design combines compactness with portability. The diamond-shaped 9-hole spout ensures smooth, clog-free pouring.
This purple clay teapot features an evolved version of the classic Shipiao shape. The slightly flattened body presents softer contours than conventional models. Three sturdy feet provide stable support while maintaining visual lightness, incorporating design elements from ancient Chinese bronze ware.
The most striking feature is the decorative "carved-line" technique. Artisans inlaid light-colored duanni clay into the dark purple base, creating precise geometric patterns through color contrast. This demanding technique requires years of experience to achieve flawless line spacing and crisp transitions.
The Yixing zisha teapot's lid fits perfectly without wobbling during pouring. Its bridge-shaped knob and ergonomic handle demonstrate thoughtful design. All edges have been polished to silky smoothness, ensuring comfortable handling.
Despite its small size, this Chinese purple clay teapot involves complex craftsmanship. From material selection - where clay gets sieved and hammered repeatedly - to manual shaping requiring perfect pressure control, each step demands expertise. Kiln temperatures must be precisely regulated during firing to prevent cracking while achieving ideal coloration.
This Yixing teapot enhances tea brewing through its purple clay's unique double-pore structure that absorbs tea aromas. The compact size particularly suits high-fragrance teas like Tieguanyin or Dancong, preserving delicate flavor profiles.
Maintenance requires gentle care: rinse with warm water before initial use, avoid leaving tea residue, and clean with soft cloths instead of detergents. Regular tea-bath treatments will gradually develop a lustrous patina.
The "Three-legged Shipiao" represents both heritage and innovation in Yixing teapot making. More than a functional tool, it's a palm-sized artwork for tea connoisseurs. For international enthusiasts, this portable zisha teapot offers authentic Chinese tea ceremony experiences.
Collectibility lies in each piece's uniqueness - even identical models from the same artisan vary slightly due to clay shrinkage and firing differences. The bottom seal and authenticity certificate guarantee its value as a collectible, with premium purple clay teapots appreciating over time.
For newcomers to zisha teapot collecting, this compact piece makes an ideal starter. Its moderate size and accessible price allow daily use while serving as an entry-level collection item. Through practical use, one can directly experience how these handmade Yixing teapots enhance tea flavors and appreciate traditional Chinese craftsmanship's ingenuity.
