This Yixing purple clay teapot carries the poetic name "Jun De." It was handcrafted by Ke Junfen, a National Craft Artist of China. When discussing purple clay teapots, people naturally associate them with the unique zisha clay from Yixing, Jiangsu Province. This particular teapot employs not ordinary clay but the precious "Original Mine Family Reserve Dahongpao" material. After prolonged aging, this clay develops a distinctive reddish hue when fired, with golden sand particles shimmering across its surface.

Ideal for brewing oolong and pu'er teas, this Chinese Yixing teapot's dual-porosity structure gradually absorbs tea aroma. Its 160ml volume serves 2-3 people perfectly, allowing 4-5 infusions per session. Master artisan Ke Junfen devoted over two decades to perfecting her craft, from selecting aged clay to hand-wedging air pockets out of the material. Each element undergoes countless adjustments, particularly the spout which requires dozens of iterations to balance form and function.

Unlike mass-produced counterparts, this authentic purple clay teapot preserves traditional hand-building techniques. Artisanal fingerprints inside the body and the maker's seal beneath the spout testify to its handmade authenticity. Maintenance simply involves rinsing with water (no detergents) and air-drying when not in use. Over time, tea tannins naturally enhance the surface luster through a process enthusiasts call "nurturing the teapot."
