Master Yang Junbao’s Xishi Zisha Teapot: Award-Winning Porcelain & Landscape Art
Award-winning Xishi teapot: 180cc Ben Shan Lüni clay, enamel landscape art, Gu Jingzhou lineage craftsmanship. Collector's treasure.
As a gem among traditional Chinese teaware, the Zisha teapot captivates the world with its unique clay material and exquisite craftsmanship. The masterpiece we present today embodies the perfect fusion of traditional techniques and modern artistry. Etched with the poetic name "Xi Shi" (referencing China's legendary beauty), it honors both classical forms and feminine elegance, while its exceptional qualities command attention from collectors worldwide.
The teapot's most remarkable feature lies in its raw material - authentic Benshan Lüni clay. This rare mineral from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing, prized for its jade-like luster and satin texture, is revered as "the jadeite of Zisha clays." Belonging to the delicate clay category, its poor plasticity challenges artisans: Craftsmen must complete shaping within precise humidity parameters, as any misstep causes cracking. The 180cc capacity and distinctive "dragon tendon" structure demand perfect control of both hand strength during throwing and wall thickness proportions. Most magically, the originally grayish clay transforms into ethereal celadon green through 1300℃ firing - an alchemical process that epitomizes Zisha's artistic enchantment.
The decoration elevates this teapot to new heights. Master ceramic artist Ren Ruihua from Jingdezhen personally painted the cloisonné landscape using innovative ceramic pigments. Graduated hues of distant azure peaks and meticulously brushed water ripples harmonize with the clay's natural texture. The "Spring" theme, depicted through peach blossoms and melting snow streams, creates synesthetic pleasure where tea drinkers might hear mountain springs and sense nature's awakening. This interdisciplinary collaboration preserves Zisha's classical elegance while injecting contemporary vitality - the soul-stirring essence of this gold medal-winning work.
Created by master Yang Junbao (disciple of Zisha grandmaster Gu Jingzhou), this piece innovates upon the classic Xi Shi form: The triple-curved spout ensures perfect water flow, the handle contours to palm ergonomics, and the knob's spherical precision reaches millimeter-level harmony. Most ingeniously, Yang balanced decorative needs with functionality through nuanced wall thickness adjustments, preserving both enamel colors and Zisha's signature breathability. Such "chained poetry" artistry represents peak Zisha craftsmanship.
As a multi-award-winning treasure, this teapot embodies cultural significance on multiple levels. Technically, it demonstrates all 18 traditional processes from clay selection to firing. Artistically, it synthesizes calligraphy, painting, and seal carving. Culturally, it continues the master-apprentice legacy in modern times. Transcending mere utility, it becomes a cultural heirloom combining rare materials, master craftsmanship, and artistic innovation.
Holding this Zisha teapot, one touches not just warm clay but six centuries of cultural sedimentation. In our age of mass production, it stands as testament to artisans safeguarding traditional craftsmanship. Each texture and curve whispers cultural narratives in Zisha's unique language, awaiting discerning connoisseurs to decipher its silent poetry. Priced at 198,000 CNY, this masterpiece serves not merely as teaware but as spiritual prop connecting past and present.
