Artisan-Crafted Moon Rabbit Yixing Teapot: Timeless Elegance in Zisha Clay
$1071.43Handmade Yixing teapot with moon rabbit artwork, 80cc capacity, using premium Huanglongshan clay. Master-crafted by Guo Chaojiang, priced at ¥7500.
The Yixing purple clay teapot stands as one of the representative works of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. This "Moon Hare Stone Dipper" zisha teapot perfectly integrates practical functionality with artistic aesthetics. Inspired by the mythical jade hare from China's ancient lunar legends, it showcases unique oriental charm through the artisan's skilled hands.
This handmade Yixing zisha teapot was created by renowned ceramic artist Guo Chaogang, a distinguished disciple of master Xu Xiutang and holder of the title Jiangsu Provincial Arts & Crafts Master. Building upon traditional zisha teapot-making techniques, Guo incorporated modern aesthetic elements, preserving classical elegance while meeting contemporary usage requirements. The 80cc capacity marked on the vessel makes it ideal for solo tea sessions or sharing with friends.
The clay originates from precious aged jiangpo material from Huanglong Mountain. This natural mineral soil, weathered for decades, develops a warm orange-red hue after firing. Rich mineral particles within the clay create sparkling golden reflections under light. With prolonged use, the zisha teapot price-worthy surface gradually forms a natural patina, deepening in color and luster.
The classic Jingzhou stone dipper shape features a trapezoidal structure with streamlined contours. The precisely calculated curvature ensures smooth water flow and comfortable handling. Three supporting feet provide stability, while the spout and handle form an optimal angle for waterfall-like pouring. The seamless lid effectively preserves tea aroma.
Most striking is the mineral-painted lunar scene: a lively hare frolicking beneath osmanthus trees under a bright moon. The hare's fur appears three-dimensional through special brushwork, with tiny osmanthus blossoms revealing their detail upon close inspection. Misty grayish-blue washes in negative spaces evoke moonlit ambiance.
Brewing tea in this Chinese Yixing teapot enhances the experience. Its double-porosity wall structure regulates water temperature effectively. High-quality clay produces metallic resonance when filled with hot water. Over time, tea substances permeate the body, creating natural fragrance retention - even empty vessels emit aroma when filled.
The purple clay teapot set creation process involves dozens of steps from clay selection to sculpting. Artisans must adapt techniques to material characteristics, where minor errors affect outcomes. Every component of this Moon Hare teapot shows flawless handcrafted joints between spout and body, demonstrating supreme skill.
Practical details include a bridge-shaped knob for easy gripping and an ergonomic handle curve. The thickened base withstands high temperatures, while internal filter holes block tea debris. These designs balance beauty and functionality.
Chinese zisha teapot culture carries profound symbolism - the hare represents auspiciousness and longevity, while the stone dipper form signifies steadfastness. Through use, maintenance traces become unique personal imprints, with time-enhanced beauty being its most captivating trait.
Proper care requires post-use rinsing without detergents. Air-dry naturally and periodically wipe with soft cloth. Correct maintenance allows the Yixing teapot handmade artifact to develop lasting luster, becoming an inheritable living artwork.
This Moon Hare Stone Dipper yixing teapot shapes both collectible value and daily utility. Beyond being exquisite tea ware, it three-dimensionally presents Chinese traditional craftsmanship. For tea enthusiasts, using such spiritual props in fast-paced modern life brings warmth and tranquility through ancient artistry.
