Masterpiece Palace Lantern Zisha Teapot by Chen Yue'e: Collector-Grade Snowflake Green Clay, 460cc
$857.14Expertly crafted 460cc Yixing teapot with Snowflake Green clay, designed by Chen Yuee and adorned by Chu Lizhi. A timeless collector's item blending functionality and artistry.
The Yixing purple clay teapot stands as an iconic representation of traditional Chinese craftsmanship, combining practical functionality with profound cultural significance. This particular teapot named "Palace Lantern" was created by Chen Yue'e, a senior-level craft artist holding researcher-level qualifications, who has dedicated over four decades to perfecting zisha teapot craftsmanship. Her works skillfully blend traditional techniques with modern aesthetics, maintaining classical charm while adapting to contemporary usage preferences.
Inspired by ancient imperial lanterns, this Palace Lantern teapot features a robust cylindrical body with smooth contours. The meticulously crafted lid integrates seamlessly with the mouth, while the knob replicates a miniature lantern design. The upward-curving spout ensures smooth pouring, and the ergonomic handle comfortably fits the palm. With its 460ml capacity, this handmade Yixing teapot perfectly accommodates small tea gatherings without compromising brewing efficiency.
Surface decorations by provincial-level master craftsman Chu Lizhi showcase traditional carving techniques. Bamboo branch motifs and Song Dynasty tea poetry appear on opposite sides of the vessel, their intricate details achieved solely through controlled blade pressure rather than chemical pigments. The silvery particles in the premium Snowflake Green clay – sourced from Huanglong Mountain mining area in Yixing, Jiangsu – create visual effects reminiscent of frost-kissed foliage after firing at 1180°C. This unique dual porous structure develops natural reddish-purple tones through iron oxidation and gradually acquires a lustrous patina during use, a process tea enthusiasts call "nurturing the teapot" that fosters spiritual connection between user and object.
Practical advantages of this Chinese zisha teapot include excellent heat retention, ergonomic wall thickness, and natural filtration properties that preserve tea aroma while reducing bitterness. Ideal for brewing pu'er and oolong teas, its maintenance simply requires water rinsing, with accumulated tea patina eventually forming protective coating. The teapot's construction involved three months of meticulous work, including humidity-controlled clay shaping and repeated testing of spout angles to achieve perfect water flow control.
Collectors value this Yixing teapot not only for its material and craftsmanship but also cultural heritage. Authentication markers include Chen's seal on the base and production year inscribed inside the lid. The characteristic "sandy" sound when rotating the lid serves as proof of authentic handmade production. Proper maintenance involves initial 24-hour tea infusion, avoidance of detergents, and regular polishing with soft cloth. Well-maintained specimens gain increasing charm over decades, becoming lifelong tea companions.
This Palace Lantern teapot represents contemporary innovation within traditional frameworks. While preserving core handcrafting techniques, it optimizes proportions and grip comfort for modern users. The 460ml capacity accommodates both solitary enjoyment and small social gatherings, embodying the artisan's commitment to quality that transforms functional ware into inheritable artwork.
