Artisan Chen Xiaoming's Dragon Egg Zisha Teapot: 28-Mesh Zhuni Clay, 200cc Capacity
$600.00Handmade Yixing Dragon Egg teapot with 28-mesh Zhuni clay, 200cc capacity. National artist Chen Xiaoming's bold design combines traditional craftsmanship with modern elegance.
The Yixing zisha teapot stands as one of China's traditional handicraft representatives. Today's featured teapot called "Dragon Egg" exhibits rounded egg-like contours with subtly elongated proportions, showcasing unique aesthetic appeal. This design preserves traditional zisha characteristics while incorporating modern minimalism, appealing to tea enthusiasts across generations.
Crafted from 28-mesh coarse-grained zhuni clay, this purple clay teapot reveals distinct granular texture that conveys natural tactile sensations. High-temperature firing transforms the clay into warm sunset-orange hues. The porous structure enhances tea liquor aeration, particularly suitable for brewing fermented teas like pu'er and black tea. Daily use gradually develops a lustrous patina through a process called "pot cultivation."
This 200ml capacity handmade Yixing teapot perfectly serves 1-2 drinkers. Its 45-degree angled spout ensures drip-free pouring, while the semicircular handle offers ergonomic comfort. The precision-fitted lid remains secure even when fully filled, demonstrating meticulous craftsmanship.
Artisan Chen Xiaoming, a National-level Arts and Crafts Master with two decades of experience, specializes in innovating traditional forms. Creating the Dragon Egg involves hand-beating clay slabs into shape followed by bamboo-tool contouring - a 3-5 day process requiring experiential expertise.
The teapot's defining feature lies in its streamlined silhouette. Smooth oval curves transition naturally from base to lid, resembling water-polished pebbles. This Chinese zisha teapot balances functional design with artistic presence, serving equally as practical utensil and tea table centerpiece.
Practical considerations include optimal 200ml volume for modern consumption (yielding two cups at 70% fill) and spherical filter holes that strain leaves without impeding flow. The 3mm wall thickness maintains heat retention without heaviness, while ample belly space allows full leaf expansion.
Yixing zisha teapot advantages include zhuni clay's dual-porosity that absorbs aroma without overpowering tea essence. With prolonged use, even plain water acquires subtle tea fragrance. Simple maintenance involves rinsing and air-drying after use, with periodic polishing enhancing surface luster.
The deceptively simple Dragon Egg shape demands technical mastery - precise curvature control ensures visual harmony, while proportional spout alignment creates elegant pouring arcs. Through relentless adjustments, Master Chen perfected angles and dimensions.
This purple clay teapot adapts to modern homes or offices, blending contemporary aesthetics with cultural heritage. For international users, it functions both as practical tool and cultural gateway. As tea ceremony culture gains momentum among fast-paced lifestyles, innovative designs like Dragon Egg preserve traditional craftsmanship while meeting modern tastes, breathing new life into ancient artistry.
