Crafted from rare golden sand clay sourced from Master Sheng Zhongjie's family-preserved mineral stock naturally weathered for decades, this purple clay teapot exhibits exceptionally fine texture. The 50cc capacity design proves ideal for solitary tea sessions, offering comfortable handling while maintaining optimal brewing performance. After high-temperature firing, the body reveals warm amber tones with natural mineral particulate visible on its surface.

Master Sheng Zhongjie, a national-level craft artist and disciple of zisha master Xu Hantang, perpetuates traditional craftsmanship through entirely manual production. From kneading the clay to shaping, each step demands meticulous attention. The evenly distributed ribs require precise control - any uneven pressure would compromise aesthetics. The flawless lid-body fit prevents leakage even when fully filled.

The most striking feature remains the "ribbed" design. Twelve raised ridges radiate from the lid's center, extending through the body to the base. These structural elements enhance visual dimensionality while improving grip security. The spout's carefully calibrated curvature ensures smooth pouring without dripping, complemented by an ergonomic handle designed for prolonged comfortable use.

As daily-use teaware, this handmade Yixing teapot excels functionally. Its dual-vent structure allows complete tea leaf expansion, while the porous golden sand clay optimally releases tea aromas. With prolonged use, the surface develops a lustrous patina and deeper coloration. The subtle interaction between tea liquor and clay walls during brewing creates irreplicable characteristics absent in machine-made vessels.
