Artisan-Crafted Yixing Zisha Teapot: Dragon Bone Clay Masterpiece by National Craft Artist Wu Guozheng
$214.29Handmade Yixing teapot with Dragon Bone Clay, 210cc capacity. National-certified artistry, golden patina development, and ergonomic Wendan-style design for optimal tea brewing.
The Yixing zisha teapot stands as a unique representative of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. More than just a tea-brewing vessel, it embodies cultural wisdom through functional artistry. This particular purple clay teapot, named "Wendan," was handcrafted by Wu Guozheng, a National Assistant Craft Artist. With a 210cc capacity, this Chinese zisha teapot is ideal for shared tea sessions among friends.
This handmade Yixing teapot features extraordinary clay material called "Dragon Bone Gold Sand," sourced from deep mine layers of Yixing's No.4 Well. Classified among the five legendary "Purple Jade Gold Sands," this deep-mined material requires 150°C high-temperature firing that tightens its structure while maintaining excellent breathability. Through prolonged use, the teapot surface gradually develops golden hues, creating luxurious visual effects.
The Wendan design cleverly combines cultural elements: "Wen" represents soft contours while "Dan" alludes to female opera roles. Its rounded silhouette exudes gentle charm without exaggerated curves. The pearl-shaped knob resembles a miniature crown, while the short upturned spout mimics a playful pout. The downward-curving handle perfectly balances the upward spout lines, creating dynamic visual harmony.
Observing this Yixing purple clay teapot reveals dual aesthetic appeal - natural beauty with whimsical character. Some compare it to modified Xishi teapot designs, while others see resemblance to unripe pomelos. Practical considerations shine through details: water flows smoothly from the perky spout, while the ergonomic handle ensures comfortable grip during pouring.
Master Wu preserves traditional craftsmanship while refining proportions. The 210cc capacity maintains elegant form without sacrificing functionality. Tight lid fitting prevents leakage, while smooth interior walls simplify maintenance. For initial use, recommended pot opening involves boiling purified water to activate clay pores. Avoid chemical cleaners, simply wiping with soft cloth after use. Enthusiasts call the gradual golden patina development "teapot nurturing."
This Wendan zisha teapot serves both daily use and collection purposes. Its balanced design bridges classical aesthetics with modern practicality, suitable for brewing pu'er or oolong tea. Moderate size ensures comfortable handling, while the precise spout prevents spills. For international tea lovers, its clean lines offer accessible introduction to Chinese teaware culture.
In Chinese tea traditions, zisha teapot price reflects its role as nature-humanity mediator rather than mere container. Works like Wendan convey artisan warmth through earthy forms. When hot water fills the vessel, this fire-tempered clay begins "breathing," releasing tea aromas while whispering centuries-old stories. This spiritual props connection explains why Yixing teapot shapes remain cherished across generations.
When purchasing, authenticate through tactile and auditory checks: genuine zisha teapot masterpieces show subtle granular textures and produce crisp metallic sounds. This No.4 Well clay specimen exhibits characteristic mineral sparkles. Properly maintained, this China purple clay teapot becomes a lifelong companion in tea ceremonies, growing more beautiful with each use.
