Exquisite Minglu Teapot: Master Xia Ruijuan’s Artistry in Longshan Red Clay Zisha Pottery
$514.29Handcrafted Minglu Zisha Teapot with Longshan Red Clay, 150cc. Designed by Master Xia Ruijuan, blending heritage craftsmanship and artistic innovation for collectors.
The Yixing purple clay teapot stands as a unique treasure in Chinese traditional handicrafts, combining practical functionality with artistic and cultural significance. Today we introduce the "Minglu Teapot" crafted by National Senior Craft Artisan Xia Ruijuan. This handmade zisha teapot employs rare Longshan Dahongpao clay with 150ml capacity, suitable for both daily use and collection.
Born in 1968 in Dingshu Town, Yixing City - the birthplace of zisha culture - Master Xia developed her passion through family heritage. After systematic training at Nanjing Normal University and Tsinghua Academy of Arts, she refined her skills under guidance from renowned masters like He Daohong and Wang Yinxian. Her works harmoniously blend Daohong-style boldness with Wang's delicate floral craftsmanship.
This Chinese Yixing teapot draws inspiration from ancient bronze furnaces, featuring calculated curves ensuring smooth pouring and visual balance. The Longshan Dahongpao clay, weathered for decades with high iron content, develops distinctive vermilion hues after firing. This purple clay teapot enhances tea aroma through its unique double-pore structure while developing patina through prolonged use.
Following traditional zisha teapot-making rituals, Master Xia personally oversees each step from clay selection to manual shaping. The lid achieves millimeter-perfect fit, preventing drips during pouring. Though devoid of intricate carvings, the teapot's texture variations and proportional design reveal understated elegance through yixing teapot handmade techniques, representing contemporary innovation rooted in tradition.
As functional ware, this 150ml purple clay teapot set proves ideal for Gongfu tea ceremonies. Its ergonomic size accommodates solitary enjoyment or shared moments. The clay's thermal regulation preserves optimal infusion temperature. Simple water rinsing maintains its luster without chemical cleaners.
Collectors value this Chinese yixing zisha teapot for multiple reasons: Master Xia's reputation as emerging senior artisan, the scarce Longshan clay's appreciating value, and Minglu's distinctive design. For foreign enthusiasts, it serves as both practical introduction to Chinese tea culture and accessible entry into zisha teapot art.
This creation embodies thirty years' craftsmanship since Xia's apprenticeship under Gu Daorong in 1988. Insisting on handmade yixing teapot traditions, she views each piece as emotional bond between creator and user. Meticulous adjustments of curvature, weight, and water flow characterize her acclaimed works, now cherished by global collectors as bridges connecting heritage with modern life.
