Premium Yixing Clay Teapot | Handcrafted by Yao Huajun | Yang Qinfang Disciple 1


The Yixing zisha teapot stands as one of the most representative traditional Chinese handicrafts in tea culture. Today's featured teapot was crafted by senior artisan Yao Huajun, who studied for years under Jiangsu Provincial Master Craftsman Yang Qinfang, inheriting his mentor's exquisite pot-making techniques. This "Ox Lid" purple clay teapot embodies the wisdom and experience of two generations of artisans.

This zisha teapot utilizes precious crab roe duan clay sourced from Huanglong Mountain mining area in Yixing, Jiangsu. The material reveals fine golden sand particles on its surface, developing a warm yellowish hue resembling cooked crab shells after high-temperature firing. Fingertips gliding across its surface detect a unique granular texture reminiscent of flowing sand. This clay's exceptional breathability makes it ideal for brewing pu-erh and dark teas.

With a 250-milliliter capacity, this handmade Yixing teapot offers perfect dimensions for daily use. Its balanced weight allows comfortable single-handed pouring, while the precisely angled spout ensures drip-free water flow. The ergonomic handle follows natural hand contours, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal as both practical utensil and collectible artwork.

The teapot's defining "Ox Lid" feature showcases a gently arched top mimicking bovine curves, complemented by cylindrical knob resembling miniature horns. Its full-bodied silhouette echoes the robust outline of cattle - a design conveying cultural symbolism where oxen represent diligence and strength in Chinese tradition, harmonizing with tea ceremony's spiritual props of focus and tranquility.

Surface engravings by national-level artisan Lu Hao depict classic Jiangnan watertown scenery: stone arch bridges spanning rivers bordered by willow branches. Meticulous carvings reveal textured willow leaves and layered bridge stones, transforming functional ware into narrative art through flowing lines and intricate details.

Crafting such a Chinese Yixing zisha teapot involves over twenty precise steps. From clay purification through repeated pounding to consistent wall thickness maintenance during shaping, each phase demands exactitude. Controlled drying prevents cracks before final 1250-degree Celsius firing determines color and texture. Every stage manifests artisan dedication and patience.
