This Yixing zisha teapot is named "Square Serenity", a collectible masterpiece. Its most distinctive feature lies in the clay material - specially processed high-temperature duan ni from original ore. This purple clay originates from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing, China, locally called "Wu Ni Lao Kuai Jia Ni". Freshly mined ore appears deep purple-black, significantly harder than ordinary clay.

The clay posed major challenges during firing. Traditional push-kilns couldn't reach sufficient temperatures, resulting in underbaked surfaces resembling uncooked bread. Historically, artisans ground it into powder for blending with other clays. Modern high-tech kilns now achieve temperatures exceeding 1500°C, enabling exclusive use of this material. Its demanding firing process earned it the majestic name "Dragon Bone".

Fired purple clay teapots develop unique metallic luster resembling ancient iron vessels. Upon closer inspection, golden speckles called "golden sand" adorn the surface. These particles not only enhance aesthetics but also refine tea texture. When pouring hot water, these golden specks shimmer like starlight.

Craftsman Master Xu, a national-level artistry master, created this handmade zisha teapot using traditional techniques. Its four precisely aligned sides showcase impeccable craftsmanship. Despite its 50ml capacity (about two sips), every detail withstands magnified scrutiny. The spout pours smoothly, the lid fits perfectly, and the teapot feels lightweight yet balanced.

Such yixing teapots remain rare due to scarce materials - Huanglong Mountain's black clay mining has diminished, with only 2-3 successful firings per 10 attempts. Rotating the teapot reveals bronze-like matte reflections unobtainable through modern machinery.

This china purple clay teapot offers unique tea benefits. Its special clay acts as natural water softener, enhancing tea aroma. Microscopic pores "memorize" tea flavors, improving brew quality over time. Users should dedicate it to specific teas like Pu'er or Tieguanyin.

As collectible, three factors elevate its value: rare "Dragon Bone" clay, Master Xu's craftsmanship, and ancient dragon kiln firing using pinewood. The kiln's natural flame circulation leaves unique "fire marks" resembling tree growth rings.

Maintenance requires gentle care: wipe with soft cloth, avoid boiling or detergents. Store unused teapots in ventilated glass cabinets. Proper use gradually transforms metallic shine into warm patina.

Despite numerous imitations, this handmade yixing teapot has three authentication features: Master Xu's engraved seal, visible handcrafted seams inside, and uneven golden sand distribution under strong light - all irreplicable by machines.

For tea enthusiasts, this purple clay teapot serves both as functional tool and portable art piece. Its evolving hues spark conversations during tea sessions. While modern tea sets abound, this traditional craftsmanship's warmth and texture remain unmatched by plastic or glass alternatives.
