Exquisite Jade Clay Yixing Teapot: Master Xu Nan's Signature Zisha Artistry
$1714.29Master Xu Nan's elite Yixing teapot in rare Jade Clay, 490cc. A pinnacle of Zisha craftsmanship, fired in ancient dragon kiln.
The purple clay teapot stands as a treasure among Chinese traditional handicrafts. This teapot named "Ribbed Ball Cluster" was handcrafted by Master Xu Nan, a renowned ceramic artist who holds dual titles as Jiangsu Province Ceramic Art Master and Vice President of the Jiangsu Ceramic Committee. With over four decades dedicated to zisha teapot creation, Master Xu's expertise shines through this exceptional piece.
The clay material used in this Yixing teapot proves extraordinarily unique. Crafted from "Jade Gold Sand" refined through ancient dragon kiln wood-firing techniques, this premium material yields less than 1 kilogram per 100 kilograms of raw ore. After special processing, the surface reveals jade-like luster with golden speckles visible under light. Such purple clay teapot develops distinctive patina effects over prolonged use.
Creating this handmade Yixing teapot involves rigorous processes. From grinding hard ore into fine powder to undergoing twenty procedures including sieving and hammering, the material preparation alone demands precision. The 490-milliliter capacity balances tea concentration and ergonomic handling, while millimeter-level precision ensures perfect lid alignment for drip-free pouring.
Drawing inspiration from traditional "Ball Cluster" design, Master Xu incorporated modern aesthetics through 18 rhythmic ribs adorning the body. These functional grooves enhance grip while creating geometric beauty. The spherical knob echoes the main form, achieving both artistic harmony and ergonomic practicality.
Beyond being a master artisan, Xu Nan cultivates talent as demonstrated by his protégé Chen Honglin - now a celebrated ceramic engraver after decade-long apprenticeship. Though this Chinese zisha teapot bears no carvings, its polished surface accentuates the clay's natural beauty.
For collectors, this Yixing purple clay teapot offers multifaceted value. Representing Master Xu's creative peak, it showcases heritage and innovation through ancient firing techniques that machines cannot replicate. As functional teaware, it enhances tea aroma; as artwork, it elevates living spaces with cultural essence. This spiritual prop blending utility and artistry promises to become a cherished heirloom across generations.
