Xu Jianping’s “Qie Duan” Zisha Teapot: Exquisite Handcrafted Collectible for Tea Connoisseurs
$171.43Master-crafted 220cc Zisha teapot by Xu Jianping. Authentic clay, ergonomic design, and seamless construction. Enhances flavor and matures with daily use.
The Yixing teapot is an outstanding representative of traditional Chinese craftsmanship, with the "Qie Duan" (Eggplant-shaped) purple clay teapot showcasing unique artistic charm. Created by national-level artisan Xu Jianping, this 220cc teapot is meticulously crafted from original mineral zisha clay. Its gently curved body features smooth, rounded lines resembling a naturally ripening eggplant, creating vivid visual appeal.
The design of this Chinese Yixing teapot demonstrates exceptional ingenuity. The full-bodied vessel exhibits a warm luster after meticulous polishing. The lid deserves special mention - its edge seamlessly integrates with the mouth in a flawless "cut-off lid" technique. A charming knob shaped like a curved eggplant stem crowns the lid, serving as the teapot's artistic focal point.
The purple clay teapot's functional elements show thoughtful engineering. The elegantly upturned spout ("single-curve spout") ensures drip-free pouring, while the ear-shaped handle fits comfortably in the palm. These symmetrical components achieve perfect visual balance.
Authentic zisha clay distinguishes this handmade Yixing teapot. The aged clay displays natural granular texture beneath its velvety surface. Through prolonged use, the teapot gradually develops a deeper patina as it absorbs tea essence, making each piece unique through this "pot nurturing" process.
Crafting this Yixing purple clay teapot demands supreme skill. From clay slab formation to final adjustments, every step requires manual precision. Xu Jianping combines three decades of experience with modern aesthetics, maintaining traditional charm while ensuring contemporary practicality.
With 220cc capacity ideal for 2-3 people, this purple clay teapot maintains optimal brewing temperature. Its porous nature enhances tea flavors while preventing deterioration, suitable for green, black, or pu'er teas.
As collectible art, this Chinese zisha teapot embodies multiple values: Xu's seal authenticates artistic merit, rare clay ensures material value, and the eggplant form demonstrates creative design. Daily use enhances its luster, while display adds cultural elegance to any space.
Proper care involves initial seasoning with tea broth, cleaning with water only, and dry storage when unused. Correct maintenance allows this zisha teapot to become a family heirloom spanning decades.
The "Qie Duan" teapot perfectly merges utility with artistry. More than a brewing vessel, it carries China's pottery heritage. For tea enthusiasts, owning such a purple clay teapot means possessing a functional artwork that appreciates through time.
