The Yixing teapot is one of the representative traditional handicrafts in China. It serves not only as an excellent tool for brewing tea but also as a cultural symbol. This particular purple clay teapot was created by senior craftsman Yao Huajun, who studied under Jiangsu Provincial Master of Arts and Crafts Yang Qinfang for many years, inheriting the essence of traditional zisha pottery techniques.

While seemingly simple, achieving natural harmony in every curve requires solid foundational skills. Its 20cc capacity makes it ideal for personal tea sessions, particularly suitable for brewing teas requiring quick infusion.
The clay used, called Hongpilong, originates from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing, Jiangsu - a rare mineral resource. When fired at high temperatures, this zisha teapot material develops dragon-scale-like textures, hence its name. Teapots made from Hongpilong clay exhibit exceptional breathability, gradually absorbing tea aromas over time to enrich infusion flavors.
The lid fits the mouth of this Chinese Yixing teapot with precision, remaining secure even when inverted - a detail demonstrating the maker's exacting standards. The knob echoes the main body's spherical design, offering comfortable grip while maintaining visual harmony.

When using this compact Yixing teapot, pre-warming and moderate tea loading are recommended. The Hongpilong clay's dual-pore structure regulates water temperature, protecting delicate tea leaves. Regular rinsing with water and long-term maintenance will gradually enhance the surface luster.
Yao Huajun's handmade zisha teapot masterpieces are highly sought after by collectors. Maintaining complete manual production from clay slab preparation to spout attachment, each piece undergoes dozens of processes over at least two weeks, ensuring every Yixing teapot shape becomes a unique artwork.
This 20cc Chinese purple clay teapot suits modern lifestyles perfectly. Its compact size saves space while remaining travel-friendly. Though small, it fully retains tea-brewing functionality, particularly concentrating aromas for strong tea enthusiasts.
Proper care involves avoiding detergent use, dedicating specific teapots for different tea types, and maintaining dryness after use. With good maintenance, a Yixing zisha teapot price becomes a lifelong companion, developing unique patina through years of tea nourishment.
