$257.14Artisan-crafted Yixing teapot using premium Da Hong Pao clay. 220ml capacity, handmade by National Craft Artist Sun Meiya. Priced at ¥1800.
The Yixing zisha teapot is a unique type of traditional Chinese tea ware. Originating from Yixing, Jiangsu Province, it boasts a history spanning centuries. These teapots are not only functional for brewing tea but also collected as artworks. Today's featured "Wanyu" teapot is a handcrafted masterpiece by National Certified Craft Artist Sun Meiya.
This purple clay teapot uses exceptionally rare clay from Huanglong Mountain's natural veins in Yixing, specifically Da Hong Pao clay - one of the rarest zisha clay varieties. Its ripe vermilion color develops delicate granular textures after high-temperature firing, creating a silk-like surface. The clay's hallmark feature is its excellent breathability, allowing tea leaves to naturally "breathe" during brewing.
The 220-milliliter capacity of this Chinese Yixing teapot makes it ideal for daily use, perfectly serving 3-4 people. Its plump spherical body features an upturned spout ensuring drip-free pouring, while the tightly fitted lid remains stable even when full. The knob resembles warm jade, offering ergonomic handling.
Craftswoman Sun Meiya, with over 20 years of zisha teapot creation experience, insists on complete manual craftsmanship without molds. Her works blend traditional essence with modern aesthetics, as exemplified by this "Wanyu". Each handmade Yixing zisha teapot undergoes meticulous shaping - from clay hammering to air removal, precise slicing of clay sheets, and careful attachment of spout/handle. The process resembles nurturing life, requiring focused dedication at every stage.
Using Yixing teapots enhances tea brewing by absorbing aromas, improving flavor over time. This Da Hong Pao clay teapot particularly excels with oolong and black teas, its heat retention optimally releasing tea fragrances. Initial use requires gradual seasoning with tea liquor to develop the surface luster.
Proper maintenance involves immediate rinsing without detergents, air-drying in shade, and gentle polishing with soft cloths. Like a good companion, these Chinese purple clay teapots grow more lustrous with prolonged use. The "Wanyu" embodies traditional craftsmanship wisdom and artistic pursuit, serving equally well as daily utensil or cultural gift. Watching tea leaves unfurl in its chamber while inhaling the evolving aroma reveals why zisha teapots remain cherished spiritual props for tea enthusiasts worldwide.
