This Yixing purple clay teapot, crafted by artist Yang Peng, embodies the exquisite "Fish Leaping" design. Handmade from rare 1970s Da Hong Pao clay - a precious zisha material that develops warmer textures through decades of natural aging - this teapot exhibits a distinctive vermilion hue with jade-like luster after firing. The scarcity of this clay and challenging craftsmanship make such teapots highly collectible.

The 50cc compact design ensures comfortable single-handed use while maintaining ideal tea temperature. Its curvaceous body features precisely calculated spout-to-handle proportions for drip-free pouring. Every detail reflects meticulous functional consideration despite the small size. Traditional enamel painting adorns the teapot surface, where artisans first carve three-dimensional patterns before layering natural mineral pigments. Fired repeatedly at 780°C, the colors fuse perfectly with the clay body.

Two golden carps swimming among aquatic plants decorate both sides, depicting the auspicious "Abundance Year After Year" motif. In Chinese culture, goldfish symbolize wealth and fortune, while the homophonic wordplay between "fish" and "surplus" conveys prosperity. Specially treated wave-relief textures create tactile undulations across the surface, enhancing grip and ceremonial feel during tea preparation. The wave-designed knob complements this theme while improving lid rotation grip.

The carp patterns reveal subtle light-play effects when illuminated. Gold-powdered scales appear animated by rising steam during brewing, creating an illusion of swimming fish. The interior preserves zisha clay's natural porous structure for gradual tea aroma absorption. Its specially designed filter mesh ensures optimal water flow without leaf residue.

Ideal for fragrant oolong or rock teas, this petite zisha teapot allows rapid infusion extraction. The Da Hong Pao clay's dual-porosity structure will develop richer patina over time. Maintenance requires avoiding chemical cleaners - simply wipe with soft cloth after use. Preserve dryness during storage and prevent thermal shock to enamel decorations by pre-warming with warm water.
