Masterpiece Phoenix Dance 60CC Yixing Teapot: Rare Purple Clay Crafted by Zhou Jianliang
$428.57Handmade by master Zhou Jianliang, this 60CC Yixing teapot uses rare purple clay, blending artistry with practicality for collectors and tea enthusiasts.
The Yixing zisha teapot stands as a representative of Chinese traditional craftsmanship. The teapot introduced today bears an illustrious name - "Phoenix Dancing in the Sky". It serves not only as an excellent tool for daily tea brewing but also as a collectible artwork. What makes this purple clay teapot extraordinary lies in its material. The clay used originates from Huanglong Mountain's original zisha ore in Yixing, a rare resource scarcely found in today's market.
Original zisha clay possesses unique advantages. A Chinese Yixing teapot crafted from this material develops a warm luster through prolonged use. Tiny iron particles visible on the surface testify to its natural mineral composition. This clay exhibits exceptional breathability, allowing complete release of tea aromas. The 60cc compact design proves ideal for solitary tea appreciation, remaining lightweight during handling.
The artisan behind this handmade zisha teapot commands great respect. Master Zhou Jianliang, a national-level senior craft artist affectionately known by his artistic name "Zhou Gong", boasts over three decades in teapot creation. He excels at expressing modern aesthetics through traditional techniques, with each Yixing teapot bearing distinctive personal style that attracts dedicated collectors awaiting his new works.
The "Phoenix Dancing in the Sky" zisha teapot undergoes complete manual fabrication. Artisans initially expel air from clay slabs using wooden mallets. The body mimics a phoenix spreading its wings, with spout and handle exhibiting fluid lines. The knob-shaped phoenix tail feathers on the lid harmonize with body patterns, all shaped solely through finger pressure without molds.
Surface decoration demands exceptional patience. Bamboo tools carve uniform feather textures across the Chinese purple clay teapot, each groove maintaining consistent depth. The firing process requires precise kiln temperature control around 1180°C, ensuring pure coloration without cracks or deformation. Each handmade Yixing teapot remains unique, unreplicable even by the same artisan.
This Yixing zisha teapot combines compact size with practical design. The 60cc capacity brews 2-3 cups perfectly, featuring smooth-draining spout and wide mouth for easy cleaning. Its curved body facilitates tea leaf expansion, particularly suitable for pu'erh and black teas requiring high temperatures. Prolonged use allows tea aroma to permeate the clay, eventually flavoring even plain water.
For zisha teapot enthusiasts, this piece holds dual value. Its daily utility brings brewing pleasure, while collectible worth escalates through rare materials and master craftsmanship. Master Zhou produces limited quantities annually, each china purple clay teapot bearing his personal seal enhancing commemorative significance.
Maintenance requires specific care: new teapots undergo initial "pot opening ritual" via half-hour tea boiling. Regular cleaning demands immediate residue removal without detergent. Properly maintained, a Yixing purple clay teapot develops natural patina over time. Storage in dry, ventilated spaces preserves quality during disuse.
The "Phoenix Dancing in the Sky" zisha teapot unites rare materials, exquisite craftsmanship, and functional design. It serves both as practical tea ware and heritage artwork. Novices appreciate its user-friendly maintenance, while collectors treasure its master-crafted excellence. This purple clay teapot embodies the warmth of Chinese traditional artistry in every sip.
