The Yixing purple clay teapot is a treasure among traditional Chinese handicrafts. Today's featured teapot, named "Gaodan Xian," was meticulously crafted by national senior craft artist Xia Ruijuan.

Longxue Sha stands as one of the finest materials for crafting zisha teapots. This distinctive dark-red clay reveals natural metallic luster after firing. Its rarity and challenging extraction make Yixing zisha teapots crafted from this material exceptionally valuable. The porous nature of this clay preserves tea's original aroma, developing a warm patina through prolonged use.

Master Xia Ruijuan, born in 1968 in Dingshu Town, Yixing, grew up in a pottery-making family near the birthplace of Chinese zisha teapots. After systematic arts training at Nanjing Normal University, she studied under Jiangsu ceramic master Gu Daorong. Her subsequent studies at Tsinghua University's Academy of Arts allowed integration of modern design concepts into traditional craftsmanship.

Crafting such a Chinese yixing teapot involves complex processes: clay selection, aging, hammering, and shaping. Xia employs traditional slab-forming techniques, meticulously joining separately crafted components. This requires deep material understanding and decades of experience.

The 420ml capacity serves 3-5 tea drinkers optimally. Its weighted balance ensures comfortable handling, while the wide mouth accommodates whole tea leaves and simplifies maintenance.

Proper care includes initial tea-water boiling to eliminate earthy odors. Regular cleaning without chemicals allows natural patina development from tea oils. A well-maintained handmade zisha teapot becomes uniquely personalized through use.

Xia's works, influenced by masters like He Daohong and Wang Yinxian, combine robust forms with delicate floral patterns. The "Gaodan Xian" represents practical artistry, serving both as daily utensil and inheritable artwork.


When selecting a Yixing teapot, prioritize clay purity with natural granular texture, seamless joints, and proportional harmony. The "Gaodan Xian" excels in all aspects, demonstrating masterful execution.


As tea culture spreads globally, the purple clay teapot transcends functionality to become a cultural ambassador. Each handmade piece embodies artisan wisdom, with Xia's creation standing as an exemplary representation of contemporary zisha artistry worthy of worldwide appreciation.
