This is a highly recommended collaborative masterpiece by two zisha teapot masters. Named "Jade Milk Pot", it combines two traditional craftsmanship techniques. The clay material selected for this purple clay teapot is premium Di Cao Qing from Huanglong Mountain mining area in Yixing, Jiangsu province, recognized as superior raw material for teapot making. This carefully sorted and aged clay develops a warm purplish-red hue after firing, with visible golden sand particles on the surface.
