Master Shi Futang’s Exquisite Six-Sided Bamboo Tripod Zisha Teapot – 400cc Handcrafted Artistry
$685.71Handcrafted 400cc Zisha teapot using authentic Da Hong Pao clay, featuring master engravings. A collector-grade piece by acclaimed artist Shi Futang.
The Yixing zisha teapot stands as a unique representative of traditional Chinese handicrafts. Crafted from natural zisha clay through manual shaping and high-temperature firing, this tea ware not only boasts elegant forms but also enhances the flavor of tea, making it beloved by enthusiasts. The featured zisha teapot exemplifies the fusion of contemporary craftsmanship with traditional culture.
This "Hexagonal Bamboo Cauldron" purple clay teapot was created by Shi Futang, a National Senior Craft Artist and rural revitalization expert. As one of Yixing's twelve designated "Zisha Stars" and cousin to Yixing Ceramics Industry Association president Shi Juntang, his deep understanding of zisha culture informs his work.
Mastering zisha teapot creation requires solid foundational skills. Trained under veteran artisan Shao Xinhe and mentored by floral-style master Wang Yinxian, Shi skillfully crafts various styles including minimalist, angular, ribbed, and floral designs. The hexagonal form demonstrates his expertise in geometric shapes.
Using precious family-stored "Da Hong Pao" mineral clay aged for decades, this handmade Yixing teapot develops a vermilion hue with jade-like luster after firing. The clay's excellent breathability optimally releases tea aromas, particularly suited for oolong and pu'er teas.
The 400cc teapot required over fifteen days of meticulous handcrafting. Its precise hexagonal angles balance strength with fluidity, while the spout and handle proportions ensure functional ergonomics. Engraver Yin Yancheng, apprentice to master Huang Song, added bamboo leaf motifs symbolizing resilience in Eastern culture - a spiritual prop harmonizing with the teapot's practicality.
This collaborative work between Shi (form) and Yin (decoration) showcases zisha art's diversity. The tight-fitting lid prevents leakage, while the comfortable grip and smooth pouring demonstrate functional perfection. Collector value comes from the artist's seal and documented professional recognitions, including publications in specialist zisha literature.
Proper maintenance involves prompt cleaning after use, avoiding chemicals, and nurturing with tea to develop a patina. Premium clay ensures deepening luster over time. As both functional tool and artistic statement, this Yixing zisha teapot embodies multiple values - from its dual-certified creator status to innovative design, making it a noteworthy collectible with appreciating market potential.
Carrying China's tea culture legacy, the Hexagonal Bamboo Cauldron preserves traditional techniques while incorporating modern aesthetics. It demonstrates the vitality of Chinese craftsmanship, allowing global audiences to experience Eastern wisdom through daily objects.
