Clay for this Chinese zisha teapot originates from Yixing's unique mineral strata. Fired continuously for dozens of hours in ancient dragon kilns using wood fuel, the material develops deeper, more uniform coloration through traditional firing techniques requiring constant temperature adjustments. This 280cc handmade Yixing teapot, suitable for 3-4 tea drinkers, becomes particularly precious due to these nearly obsolete craftsmanship methods.
