Masterpiece Yixing Zisha Teapot: Sacred Peach by Double Senior Craftsman Shi Futang
$471.4340cc handmade Yixing Zisha teapot using vintage ink-green clay. Designed by acclaimed artist Shi Futang, featuring peach-inspired floral artistry. Award-winning collectible craftsmanship.
The Yixing purple clay teapot stands as a precious representative of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. In Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, master artisan Shi Futang has dedicated his life to perfecting this art form. Recognized as a National Senior Craft Artist and Rural Revitalization Senior Craftsman, he's also honored as one of Yixing's Twelve Zisha Stars. Growing up alongside ceramic association president Shi Juntang, his cousin, Shi Futang absorbed zisha culture from childhood.
Shi Futang honed his skills through decades of practice. After learning fundamentals from veteran artist Shao Xinhe, he received guidance from floral teapot master Wang Yinxian. This training enabled him to master smooth-surfaced vessels, square vessels, ribbed designs, and lifelike floral creations. His Yixing zisha teapots combine exquisite forms with pure traditional craftsmanship.
Featured here is "Sacred Peach," a signature 40cc zisha teapot specifically designed for brewing aromatic teas. Mimicking natural peach morphology, every element - spout, handle, and lid - bursts with vitality, resembling freshly picked fruit. This nature-inspired design reflects Shi's acute observational skills.
Crafted from original ore No.1 Factory dark green clay sourced from Yixing's Huanglong Mountain, this handmade zisha teapot develops richer patina with use. The mineral-rich clay enhances tea flavor while maintaining breathability. Its deep green hue gradually darkens, revealing mesmerizing tonal variations.
The entirely manual creation process demands precision - from clay slab preparation to body forming and surface texturing. The complex curvature of this peach-shaped teapot requires millimeter-perfect execution. Surface textures replicate peach fuzz while preserving zisha's distinctive tactile quality.
This 40cc Yixing purple clay teapot excels in brewing rock teas and Phoenix oolongs. Despite its compact size, the spout delivers perfect water flow. The practical design paired with artistic merit embodies why zisha teapots remain tea enthusiasts' favorites.
Shi's creations have won multiple awards and appear in professional publications. The "Sacred Peach" showcases traditional techniques with innovative touches - the lid's peach twig decoration doubles as anti-slip texture, demonstrating functional aesthetics.
For collectors, this handmade Yixing teapot offers multiple values: functional tool, artistic masterpiece, and cultural artifact. Its uniqueness guarantees appreciation potential, while proper maintenance will enhance its natural luster over time.
Producing a zisha teapot involves dozens of steps from clay selection to final firing. Shi meticulously preserves the material's natural properties through controlled shaping and firing techniques, ensuring durability without compromising breathability.
The "Sacred Peach" embodies Chinese craftsmanship's balance between heritage and innovation. For international tea lovers, this Yixing purple clay teapot serves as both artistic object and practical introduction to Eastern tea culture. Through daily use, one can appreciate the subtle interaction between clay and tea leaves.
Maintaining zisha teapots involves ritualistic care - initial seasoning followed by regular cleaning. This dark green clay vessel will develop natural sheen through repeated use, embodying the beautiful evolution between user and artifact. Shi Futang's work transcends mere utility, carrying forward cultural memory and artisan spirit through every curve and texture.
