Exquisite Yixing Zisha Teapot: Timeless Treasure by National Craft Artist Liu Zheng
$300.00Master Liu Zheng's 260cc Zisha teapot, using vintage 1970s emerald clay, combines decades of craftsmanship with collectible value for tea enthusiasts.
The Yixing zisha teapot stands as a representative of Chinese traditional craftsmanship, serving not only as a tea brewing tool but also as a collectible artwork. This particular handmade Yixing teapot was created by Master Liu Zheng, a seasoned artisan who studied under renowned zisha master Fan Weiqun for over three decades and remains a key member of Fan Family Pottery Studio. His works have gained widespread popularity among collectors worldwide due to their solid craftsmanship and distinctive design style.
The "Dakou Shipiao" purple clay teapot represents Master Liu's recent masterpiece. While maintaining the classic Shipiao teapot's stable structure, it incorporates modern aesthetic elements. The streamlined body features a slightly upturned spout and triangular handle that ensures comfortable grip while enhancing visual elegance. The precision-fit lid demonstrates perfect integration of functionality and artistry, preventing leakage during pouring.
This Chinese zisha teapot employs exceptionally rare clay material - vintage dark green clay stockpiled since the 1970s from Yixing Zisha Factory No.1. After four decades of natural aging, this clay achieves unparalleled smoothness. Fired surfaces exhibit unique olive-green luster that deepens with prolonged use, resembling time-polished jade. The breathable nature of this dark green clay perfectly preserves tea aromas, making it ideal for brewing fermented teas like Pu'er or black tea.
Designed with 260cc capacity, this Yixing purple clay teapot suits both group tea sessions and individual use. Specially treated interior allows full tea leaf expansion, while evenly distributed filter holes ensure smooth water flow. The meticulously polished base guarantees stable placement, reflecting traditional craftsmanship's rigorous attention to detail.
As a national-level craft artist, Master Liu insists on complete handmade production from clay preparation to firing control. Natural texture patterns from manual shaping appear on the body, distinguishing it from machine-made products. Traditional "wall-pushing and base-scraping" marks inside the pot serve as crucial identifiers of authentic handmade zisha teapots.
This china purple clay teapot holds multiple collectible values: scarcity of 1970s vintage clay, fusion of traditional techniques with contemporary design, and practical functionality that improves with proper maintenance. The engraved artist signature and certificate number on the base guarantee authenticity.
For maintenance, initial preparation requires boiling with tea liquor to eliminate earthy odors. Dedicate it to specific tea types for better aroma absorption. Clean only with water, avoiding detergents. Store thoroughly dried in ventilated areas when unused.
Recently, Yixing teapots like this have gained increasing international recognition. Meticulously crafted pieces using premium materials particularly appeal to overseas Chinese culture enthusiasts. The "Dakou Shipiao" serves both as functional teaware and artistic collectible, ideal for foreign beginners exploring zisha culture.
Over time, this handmade Yixing zisha teapot develops natural transformations through tea infusion. Its surface gradually acquires a lustrous "patina" layer, embodying the captivating interaction between user and artifact. By cherishing this work, owners actively participate in preserving traditional craftsmanship's legacy.
