Masterpiece Supreme Zisha Teapot: National Artist Xia Ruijuan's Purple Clay Artistry
$685.71Handmade 400cc purple clay teapot by award-winning artist Xia Ruijuan. Combines traditional techniques with Daohong-style artistry. Collector-grade ceramic craftsmanship.
The Yixing teapot is a treasure among traditional Chinese handicrafts. Today's featured zisha teapot, named "Supreme Pot", was meticulously crafted by national-level senior arts and crafts master Xia Ruijuan. This purple clay teapot uses premium zisha clay from family reserves aged for years, with 400cc capacity suitable for both daily use and collection.
Master Xia Ruijuan, born in 1968 in Dingshu Town, Yixing City - the birthplace of Chinese zisha culture - grew up immersed in teapot-making traditions. After graduating from Nanjing Normal University's Arts & Crafts program, she systematically studied artistic theory, laying solid foundations for her Yixing zisha teapot creations.
During her development, Xia received guidance from multiple zisha masters. She learned Dao Hong style from master He Daohong and floral craftsmanship from Wang Yinxian. This dual heritage endowed her works with traditional charm and innovative spirit. In 1988, she apprenticed under Jiangsu Ceramic Arts Master Gu Daorong, later attending advanced studies at Tsinghua University's Academy of Arts & Design.
The "Supreme Pot" exemplifies Xia's artistic characteristics. This handmade Yixing teapot features dignified proportions with fluid lines. The repeatedly polished body reveals the warm luster unique to zisha clay. The spout and handle curvatures balance ergonomics with visual harmony, while millimeter-precise lid fitment demonstrates supreme craftsmanship.
The precious zisha clay used undergoes years of natural aging, achieving fine, uniform texture. During firing, the chinese Yixing teapot develops varying purple hues through temperature changes, making each piece unique. High-temperature kilning creates micro-pores enabling breathability without water permeability.
Brewing tea with this 400cc purple clay teapot enhances flavor profiles, particularly for fermented teas like pu'erh. The interior gradually absorbs tea aroma - even plain water develops subtle fragrance after prolonged use. Maintenance remains simple: rinse after use and avoid chemical detergents.
Xia's works innovate upon tradition. The "Supreme Pot" blends modern aesthetics with classic techniques, featuring subtle hand-carved textures that improve grip and tactile experience. The crisp bottom seal attests to meticulous craftsmanship.
Collectors highly value Xia's zisha teapots, with numerous awards from domestic and international exhibitions. This piece continues her signature style - imposing yet graceful, detailed yet uncluttered. From knob design to water-flow precision, every aspect demonstrates deep understanding of Yixing teapot craftsmanship.
For zisha newcomers, this piece offers ideal introduction, balancing traditional functionality with contemporary artistry. Using such teapots connects users with Chinese tea culture's profound heritage. Over time, the surface patina deepens, becoming a cherished companion.
Proper care involves initial warm-water rinsing, avoiding thermal shocks. Dedicate specific pots to particular tea types. After use, gently wipe with soft cloth. Store completely dried in ventilated areas when unused. Appropriate maintenance enhances the teapot's character.
More than utilitarian vessel, this "Supreme Pot" represents inheritable craftsmanship, embodying Xia's 30+ years experience and documenting Yixing zisha evolution. Whether for daily use or collection, this chinese purple clay teapot delivers unique cultural resonance.
