The most remarkable feature is its clay material - a rare resource originally custom-made for Master Gu Jingzhou by Yixing Zisha Factory. As a legendary figure in zisha art, Master Gu had exceptionally strict standards for clay selection. When the factory dissolved, this precious material was preserved intact by artisan Yang Junbao, now becoming an increasingly scarce resource.

This 80-mesh refined clay produces jade-like luster after firing. The teapot initially appears darker, gradually developing warm patina through daily use - a cherished transformation process for collectors. The meticulous sifting process (higher mesh number indicates finer particles) ensures exceptional texture.
