Premium Collector's Yixing Zisha Teapot: Xu Liuming's Ruyi Wave Masterpiece
$300.00National artist Xu Liuming's 280cc Red Skin Dragon clay teapot, fully handcrafted with Ruyi Wave artistry. Collector's item at 2100 CNY.
The Yixing purple clay teapot stands as a unique representative of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. This functional art form holds significant collectible value. The "Ruyi Wave" teapot showcased today perfectly embodies the essence of purple clay teapot craftsmanship.
Crafted from rare red skin dragon clay sourced from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing, Jiangsu province, this handmade zisha teapot develops a warm maroon hue with golden speckles after firing. Its characteristic dual porous structure enhances tea aroma preservation while preventing staleness. The 280cc capacity makes it ideal for both solitary tea sessions and small gatherings.
Master artisan Xu Liuming, a national-level craft artist with three decades of experience, created this purple clay teapot entirely by hand. Each piece undergoes nearly 100 meticulous processes from clay preparation to final firing, ensuring every Yixing zisha teapot remains a unique artwork.
The teapot's defining feature is its continuous ridgeline flowing from spout to handle, resembling rolling waves and cloud patterns. The flush-fitting lid incorporates an auspicious ruyi-shaped knob. The rounded body showcases subtle angular variations through precise slab-forming techniques, revealing delicate hammer marks characteristic of authentic handmade Yixing teapots.
Ergonomic considerations enhance functionality: the handle follows natural hand contours, the precisely angled spout ensures drip-free pouring, and the balanced capacity facilitates easy handling. Proper seasoning gradually develops a richer patina over time.
As a collectible, this Chinese purple clay teapot offers multiple values. The rare clay matures beautifully with age, while Xu's signature and certification guarantee authenticity. Bottom inscriptions and hidden lid markings serve as authentication markers.
Maintenance requires boiling new teapots three times (20 minutes each) and regular cleaning with soft cloths. Avoid chemical cleaners and store dry. With proper care, this purple clay teapot set can become a family heirloom.
The "Ruyi Wave" harmonizes traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics, serving equally as daily tea companion and art piece. For foreign tea enthusiasts, owning an authentic Yixing teapot provides intimate access to Chinese tea culture. Through daily use and careful maintenance, users witness the teapot's gradual transformation, experiencing the living essence of handmade craftsmanship.
