Zisha Teapot: Handcrafted Da Hong Pao clay, Master Yang Peng’s enamel-gold eggplant design.
$385.71As a gem of traditional Chinese tea utensils, the Zisha teapot embodies the essence of millennia-old tea culture and handcrafted artistry. It is not only
This Yixing purple clay teapot is a fully handmade masterpiece specially recommended by Master Yang Peng. Named "Enamel-Colored Gilded Eggplant Segment", its body mimics the natural curve of an eggplant, adorned with colored enamels and golden lines. The most distinctive feature lies in the glaze mixed with ruby and turquoise powder, creating starlike gemstone sparkles throughout the vessel.
The clay material used is extremely precious - vintage Dahongpao clay stored since the 1970s. This special zisha ore, naturally aged for decades underground, developed an exceptionally soft and fine texture. Artisans feel like kneading baby skin when hand-pounding this clay. After firing, the teapot radiates warm reddish hues resembling sunset clouds, with surfaces smooth as silk.
The exquisite patterns are hand-painted using traditional enamel techniques. Craftsmen first prepare colored glazes, paint delicate motifs with fine brushes, then outline with pure gold powder when fixed. The golden lines shimmer under light, creating luxurious contrasts with colorful patterns. When rotating the teapot, gemstone particles in the glaze refract prismatic lights like sunlight through crystals.
With practical 280cc capacity, this zisha teapot perfectly serves 3-4 tea drinkers. Its specially designed spout creates elegant water arcs without dripping. The lid fits so precisely that not a single drop leaks when covering the air hole. The ergonomic handle maintains comfort even when full.
This aged-clay teapot possesses a magical trait - it "memorizes" tea flavors. Initially emitting earthy fragrance when new, it gradually absorbs tea aromas over six months of use. Even plain water poured later carries subtle tea notes, cherished by veteran tea enthusiasts.
Maintenance requires specific care: initial "pot opening ritual" involves simmering in tea for two hours. After each use, immediately empty leaves, rinse with hot water, and air-dry upside down. Never use detergents or brushes to preserve the natural protective layer. With proper care, this handmade Yixing teapot becomes more valuable through generations.
The eggplant-inspired curvature combines ergonomics with artistic beauty. From spout to handle, flowing lines mimic natural vine growth while ensuring smooth pouring. The stable circular base prevents wobbling on tables.
This purple clay teapot embodies multiple traditional crafts. Hand-beating clay slabs requires 20+ years' expertise, while enamel painting tests artists' patience. Gold-tracing must be executed swiftly on semi-dry glaze. Master craftsmen typically spend 2-3 months completing such a piece.
For tea lovers, this zisha ware better preserves tea aromas through its unique clay breathability. It maintains green tea's freshness and fully releases Pu'er's aged fragrance. Carefully calculated wall thickness ensures ideal heat retention.
Nowadays, more collectors appreciate such traditional handicrafts. This Chinese Yixing teapot serves not just as utility but inheritable art, carrying veteran artisans' warmth and recording Chinese tea culture history. Each brewing session echoes craftsmen's relentless pursuit of perfection through spiritual props of timeless craftsmanship.
