Master Xia Ruijuan's Dabin Liufang: A Collector's Guide to Rare Republic-Era Green Clay Zisha Teapots
$728.57Master-crafted Yixing Zisha teapot using rare Republic-era green clay (500cc). National Artist Xia Ruijuan's signature work, blending heritage craftsmanship with elite artistic training. Collector-grade.
Today we introduce an extraordinary Yixing zisha teapot named "Dabin Liufang", crafted by national-level senior ceramic artist Xia Ruijuan. This purple clay teapot uses rare Republic Green clay from the Republican era, with a generous 500ml capacity making it notably large among traditional teapots.
The zisha teapot features a hexagonal design with crisp linear geometry - six symmetrical facets precisely aligned. The spout and handle maintain perfect proportionality, blending classical dignity with contemporary aesthetics. Such geometric perfection demands millimeter-level precision in angle calculation and clay shaping.
The Republic Green clay deserves special attention. This scarce Yixing zisha material exhibits unique deep-green coloration that develops natural luster through firing. With prolonged use, the handmade Yixing teapot gradually forms a glossy patina while maintaining ideal tea temperature and aroma retention.
Artist Xia Ruijuan (b.1968) grew up in Dingshu Town's pottery-making families. Immersed in zisha culture since childhood, she formally studied at Nanjing Normal University, apprenticed under Jiangsu ceramic master Gu Daorong, and completed advanced training at Tsinghua University.
Her Chinese Yixing zisha teapots balance tradition and innovation. Having learned from masters like He Daohong and Wang Yinxian, Xia masters classical techniques like the seamless inlaid lid on this piece, while modernizing body contours for contemporary appeal.
Crafting such Yixing teapot involves 20+ meticulous steps: clay refinement through repeated pounding, manual slab construction, specialized edge-shaping tools, and precise kiln temperature control crucial for Republic Green's coloration. This single teapot required two months' dedicated work.
Beyond functionality for group tea sessions, this 500ml purple clay teapot set represents artistic excellence. The hexagonal grip ensures secure handling, while the precision spout offers drip-free pouring. Collectors particularly value Xia's works that embody Yixing's heritage and innovation.
Maintenance tips: Initial cleansing with tea water removes earthy notes. Always air-dry thoroughly and avoid chemical cleaners. Protect the Republic Green clay from thermal shocks. Proper care transforms this Chinese purple clay teapot into a cherished heirloom.
As global collectors increasingly appreciate Yixing teapot handmade artworks, pieces like "Dabin Liufang" serve dual purposes - optimizing tea flavors while embodying centuries-old Chinese wisdom. Next tea time, experience this spiritual props of oriental culture through a zisha teapot master's creation.
