Exquisite Dragon Yixing Teapot: Masterpiece by Jiang Yaping | 470cc Collector's Item
$342.86Handmade Yixing teapot with intricate dragon carving, 470cc capacity, and flawless drainage. A fusion of cultural symbolism and expert artistry by Jiang Yaping.
Today I want to introduce an extraordinary Yixing zisha teapot named "Longtengsihai", created by Chinese Yixing clay artisan Jiang Yaping. This craftsman is no ordinary potter - as a disciple of master Gu Shaopei and a nationally certified senior craft artist, his work blends traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation.
This handmade Yixing teapot uses authentic base-slot clear clay, considered the "gold standard" of zisha materials. After high-temperature firing, the body develops a warm maroon hue with golden speckles. Remarkably, the teapot's color intensifies with prolonged use, becoming more beautiful over time.
The hexagonal purple clay teapot stands approximately 18cm tall with 470ml capacity, ideal for group tea sessions. Its engineering marvel lies in the nine rhombic filter holes ensuring smooth pouring without leaf leakage. The Yixing zisha teapot's sculptural elements truly astonish - relief-carved waves appear dynamically alive beneath a coiling dragon whose obsidian clay eyes gleam with vitality.
Every detail reflects meticulous craftsmanship. The lid seals perfectly, the dragon-tail handle ergonomically curves, and even the knob resembles a miniature dragon pearl. Visible hand-building marks inside the Chinese zisha teapot testify to its authentic manual creation.
Practically, the hexagonal shape allows full leaf expansion, while the 9-hole filter optimally brews oolong and pu'erh teas. As collectible art, this Yixing purple clay teapot embodies triple value: two months' manual labor, contemporary dragon motifs reinterpreted through traditional symbolism, and increasingly rare raw materials.
Maintenance requires initial tea-boiling to remove earthy tones. Regular cleaning without detergent and dedicated use for single tea types help develop the prized patina. Master Jiang spent six months perfecting this zisha teapot price-worthy piece, particularly on the dragon's 300 individually sculpted scales and wave patterns requiring special tools.
Beyond functionality, the teapot's thermal retention and wide mouth enhance tea experience. Symbolically, its dragon represents power while waves signify overcoming adversity - making this Chinese yixing teapot both cultural emblem and practical masterpiece, radiating positive energy whether displayed or used for hospitality.
