The Yixing purple clay teapot stands as one of the representative traditional handicrafts in China. This particular teapot, named "Drinking Gourd," was crafted by senior artisan Yao Huajun. Trained under Mr. Yang Qinfang, a Jiangsu Province Master of Arts and Crafts, Yao has dedicated over two decades to zisha teapot creation. His works emphasize traditional techniques while incorporating modern aesthetics, forming a distinctive personal style.

This handmade Yixing teapot utilizes rare "Dragon Bone Gold Clay" material sourced from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing, Jiangsu. After special blending and prolonged aging, the clay develops metallic luster. Artisans repeatedly slap clay slabs during shaping, with natural mineral particles creating golden speckles after firing. The teapot gradually develops a warm patina through prolonged use.

This handmade Yixing zisha teapot optimizes tea brewing through dual-porosity structure that absorbs tea aromas. The 240ml volume suits oolong and pu-erh teas requiring quick steeping. Precisely controlled wall thickness maintains heat without scalding. Regular rinsing and air-drying naturally develop its protective patina.

Producing this zisha teapot involves 30+ steps over two months. From material selection through weathering and grinding, traditional slab-forming techniques shape the clay. Precise kiln temperatures during dual firings ensure quality. The week-long carving process alone demonstrates meticulous craftsmanship.

Proper maintenance begins with 24-hour tea soak for new pots. Avoid detergents, promptly dry after use, and dedicate specific pots to tea varieties. Periodic drying preserves porosity. Well-maintained Chinese zisha teapots increasingly reveal their unique charm over time.
