Today I recommend a collectible Yixing zisha teapot named "Chuanlu". This purple clay teapot is crafted from rare Huangjin Duanni clay with an 80ml capacity that fits perfectly in hand. The most valuable aspect lies in its natural premium clay - Huangjin Duanni has become extremely scarce in the market.

The master artisan behind this Chinese zisha teapot is Xu Liuming, a nationally certified industrial artist. With over three decades of experience, Mr. Xu maintains strict handmade traditions without machine assistance. This handmade Yixing teapot required eight hours daily craftsmanship over twenty days to complete.

Its exquisite details stand out: flowing silhouette with rounded edges, perfectly proportioned spout and handle for smooth pouring, airtight lid that stays secure when inverted, and baby-smooth surface without imperfections. The Yixing purple clay teapot's Huangjin Duanni clay initially shows autumn wheat coloration, gradually maturing into warm gold tones. Natural golden particles in the clay create sparkling effects under light, while double the breathability of regular zisha clay better preserves tea aromas.

The "Chuanlu" shape draws inspiration from ancient heating stoves, featuring a pumpkin-like rounded body with stable broad base. The bridge-shaped knob ensures comfortable grip, blending traditional aesthetics with modern sensibilities. As collectible art, this china purple clay teapot holds multiple values: scarce materials (Huangjin Duanni is nearly unavailable), limited annual output (under ten pieces by national-level artisans), authentic handmade craftsmanship (versus 90% machine-made market products), and flawless preservation without repairs.

Maintenance proves simple: rinse with water (no detergents), air-dry in shade, initially season with green tea for two weeks to develop protective patina. Handle carefully despite durable clay - it remains delicate handiwork. For new collectors, this 80ml Yixing teapot offers ideal proportions for daily use, refined tea experience, and appreciation potential. Compared to antique teapots costing tens of thousands, contemporary masterpieces like this ensure easier authenticity verification and lower collection risks.
