Premium Handcrafted Yixing Clay Teapot - Tree Frog Set by Master Sheng Zhongjie
$300.00Handmade Yixing clay teapot by master Sheng Zhongjie. 280cc Qingduan clay, artistic Tree Frog design, and certified craftsmanship excellence.
The Yixing teapot is a treasure among Chinese traditional tea utensils, valued for both its practicality and high artistic merit. Today's featured teapot, named "Tree Frog Set," is entirely handmade by Sheng Zhongjie, a National-level Craft Artist. Its most distinctive feature lies in the nature-inspired design, with vivid tree frog elements adorning both the main body and accessories, as if bringing a fragment of forest to the tea table.
Crafted from precious original qingduan clay sourced from Yixing, Jiangsu Province—a premium material for zisha teapots—this purple clay teapot reveals a unique bluish-gray hue after firing, resembling rain-moistened slate stones. With prolonged use, the surface gradually develops a jade-like patina through natural oxidation.
Master Sheng employs traditional manual techniques throughout the creation process. From slab forming to body shaping and detailed carving, each step relies on skilled handwork. The three-dimensional tree frog sculptures demand particular expertise, requiring special tools to carve moist clay without compromising structural integrity. Each handmade Yixing zisha teapot emerges as a unique artwork.
As protégé of master Xu Hantang, a towering figure in Chinese zisha art renowned for harmonizing form and spirit, Sheng Zhongjie has inherited his mentor's essence through decades of apprenticeship. This Tree Frog Set perfectly embodies this craftsmanship lineage—blending classical charm with contemporary aesthetics.
Designed with 280cc capacity, this Chinese purple clay teapot suits both group tea sessions and personal use. Its specially angled spout ensures drip-free pouring, while the ergonomic handle provides comfortable grip. Matching cups complete the thematic set.
The teapot's natural double-pore structure from qingduan clay optimally preserves tea aromas while filtering impurities. Over time, a protective tea patina naturally forms inside, enhancing infusion richness—a process collectors call "nurturing the teapot."
For connoisseurs, this handmade Yixing teapot holds multiple values: as increasingly rare authentic manual craftsmanship, as heritage from Yixing Zisha Factory's veteran artisan Sheng, and as innovative artistic expression through its amphibian motifs. It functions equally well as daily utensil and collectible artwork.
Proper maintenance involves prompt residue cleaning with plain water (no detergents), air-drying in shade, and storing with dry tea leaves during disuse to maintain freshness. With mindful care, this purple clay teapot set becomes a lifelong spiritual props, accumulating character alongside its owner's tea journey.
