Masterpiece Palace Lantern Zisha Teapot: Artisan Chu Dongping's 2015 Lunar Festival Silver Award Work
$128.57Chu Dongping's 220cc purple clay teapot boasts a classic palace lantern silhouette, refined craftsmanship, and ergonomic design. A luxurious addition to tea rituals.
This teapot named "Palace Lantern" originates from Yixing, China's renowned ceramics hometown. The handmade Yixing zisha teapot represents traditional Chinese craftsmanship, serving both as practical tea brewing tool and collectible artwork. With 220cc capacity suitable for 2-3 people, this medium-sized purple clay teapot demonstrates perfect balance.
Crafted from classic purple clay known as "gold in zisha", the material exhibits deep reddish-brown luster that becomes more lustrous with prolonged use. Premium purple clay contains rich minerals, enabling excellent breathability that preserves tea's original flavor while absorbing aroma. The slightly grainy texture under fingertips reveals its natural zisha characteristics.
Created by national craft artist Chu Dongping, this Yixing teapot maker won silver at 2015's inaugural Jingzhou Cup handicraft competition. With over 20 years' experience, Master Chu skillfully blends traditional forms with modern aesthetics. The Palace Lantern design maintains ancient techniques while showcasing contemporary simplicity.
Inspired by antique palace lamps, the rounded pot body resembles an air-filled balloon, stabilized by slightly inward-curving base and thickened support. The slightly domed lid features pearl-shaped knob echoing ancient architectural ornaments. Tight lid-body integration prevents leakage during pouring.
The carefully angled spout ensures smooth water flow with drip-free stoppage. The ear-shaped handle follows ergonomic curves for comfortable grip. Balanced proportions between spout, handle and body create visual harmony from all angles. Surface decoration relies solely on clay texture and clean lines.
This 220cc Yixing zisha teapot works ideally for oolong or pu'erh teas requiring quick brewing. Wide opening accommodates whole tea leaves and simplifies cleaning. Moderate wall thickness maintains optimal heat retention for proper leaf expansion. Through repeated use, natural tea patina will gradually enhance its surface luster.
Crafting such Chinese purple clay teapot involves over 30 manual processes - from slapping clay slabs to detail refinement. Spout and handle angles require repeated adjustments to achieve perfect water stream. Dual firings at 1150°C ensure durability while preserving clay properties, with initial bisque firing followed by polishing treatment.
This Palace Lantern teapot embodies practical artistry. Beyond being efficient tea tool, it serves as elegant decor. The magic lies in its "breathing" quality - even plain water poured into seasoned pot carries subtle tea aroma. Quality zisha teapot can last decades, becoming heritage for generations.
For foreign friends new to Chinese Yixing teapots, start with single tea variety. Clean promptly after use without detergents. Regular maintenance with soft cloth and drying periods helps maintain optimal condition. Proper care transforms this spiritual props into lifelong tea companion.
