Master Jiang Yaping’s “Xiao Ying” Zisha Teapot: A Fusion of Art and Craftsmanship
$300.00Handmade Yixing Zisha teapot with master engravings, 200cc capacity, premium red clay. A fusion of functional design and artistic heritage for tea connoisseurs.
This is an exceptionally collectible Yixing purple clay teapot work titled "Laughing Cherry Blossoms", crafted by national-level senior craft artist Jiang Yaping. Master Jiang, an outstanding student of renowned zisha artist Gu Shaopei, has achieved remarkable accomplishments in purple clay teapot creation. This Yixing teapot not only demonstrates his solid craftsmanship but also reveals unique artistic aesthetics.
Made from original ore pear-skin vermilion clay, this handmade zisha teapot exhibits a warm orange-red hue with delicate pear-like surface textures. The 200ml capacity makes it ideal for 2-3 tea drinkers. Fourteen diamond-shaped drainage holes at the base ensure smooth pouring and effective tea leaf filtration.
The zisha teapot master's design features rounded fullness with subtle inward curves at upper and lower sections, stabilized by a circular foot. Its naturally curved triple-bend spout enables drip-free pouring, while the circular handle creates symmetrical beauty with the spout. The slightly domed lid is crowned with a spherical knob featuring a pointed tip, enhancing the teapot's elegant silhouette.
Most striking are the carvings by Li Wei, Jiangsu Ceramic Art Master and dean of Wuxi Institute of Arts & Design. Inspired by painter Jiang Hanting's works, this Chinese purple clay teapot displays exquisite floral-bird patterns. The reverse side bears the poetic inscription "Mountain flowers and stream birds share leisure with me", blending literary charm with visual artistry.
Creating such a purple clay teapot set requires multiple meticulous processes: selecting premium clay through repeated kneading, hand-shaping precise curves, temperature-controlled firing for consistent coloration, and expert carving that preserves structural integrity while achieving detailed patterns.
This handmade Yixing teapot offers both beauty and functionality. Its pear-skin vermilion clay effectively retains tea aromas, particularly suitable for brewing oolong and pu-erh teas requiring high temperatures. The ergonomic 200ml body ensures comfortable handling, while the 14-hole filter simplifies cleaning. With regular use, the Yixing zisha teapot develops a warm patina through tea infusion.
For tea enthusiasts, this Chinese Yixing teapot represents both artistic value and practical excellence. Combining two masters' expertise, it preserves traditional craftsmanship while incorporating contemporary aesthetics. Whether for personal use or as a gift, this zisha teapot will develop richer character over time, becoming a cherished spiritual props that accompanies its owner through memorable tea moments.
