Artisan Yixing Teapots by Yao Huajun: Master-Crafted Yin Piao with Rare Dragon Bone Clay
$471.43Master Yao Huajun's 240cc Yixing teapot, crafted from Dragon Bone Clay, showcases Lu Hao's engravings. Premium artisanal teaware priced at ¥3300.
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.
With 240ml capacity ideal for 3-4 tea drinkers, this Chinese zisha teapot features precision-engineered components. The spout ensures smooth pouring without dripping, while the ergonomic handle offers comfortable grip. The tightly fitting lid remains secure even when inverted, demonstrating masterful craftsmanship. Each teapot bears the artist's unique seal on its base.
Inspired by ancient water dippers, this purple clay teapot set exhibits clean hemispherical lines. Its polished surface provides smooth tactile experience, complemented by a bridge-shaped knob for easy operation. Compared to traditional designs, "Drinking Gourd" modernizes proportions while maintaining functionality, serving both practical and decorative purposes.
National-level artisan Lu Hao carved waterside reeds using raised carving techniques on the Yixing teapot. The dynamic scene harmonizes with the form, creating "waterside tea-drinking" imagery. Seal script inscriptions feature Tang Dynasty tea poetry excerpts, enhancing cultural depth.
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.
Beyond functionality, this Yixing purple clay teapot embodies cultural heritage. "Drinking Gourd" merges artistic craftsmanship with modern utility, appealing to tea enthusiasts seeking enhanced experiences and collectible art. Its evolving surface texture chronicles users' tea moments through gradual patination.
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.
