Masterpiece Yixing Zisha Teapot Mirror Tile by Bao Yuhua & Li Wei
$171.43Handcrafted Yixing zisha teapot with bamboo engravings, 170cc capacity. Traditional mirror tile design meets contemporary artistry for exceptional tea brewing.
Today we recommend a Yixing teapot that blends traditional charm with modern aesthetics—the Jingwa Teapot. This purple clay teapot is handcrafted by Chinese national craft artist Bao Yuhua and decorated by Jiangsu ceramic master Li Wei. Their collaboration creates perfect harmony between functional ware and artistic masterpiece.
The teapot features original deep-well aged zisha clay from Huanglong Mountain's mineral veins in Yixing, naturally weathered for refined texture. With 170ml capacity ideal for daily brewing, its specially designed ball-filter structure ensures smooth water flow without clogging. The handmade Yixing zisha teapot draws inspiration from Han Dynasty roof tiles and bronze mirrors, exemplifying the Chinese craft philosophy of "rooted in life, elevated beyond ordinary." While maintaining classical elements, Bao innovatively adjusts body contours to balance antique charm with contemporary tastes.
Observe its distinct characteristics: The straight body resembles ancient cylindrical tiles, while the wide mouth and flat lid mirror bronze mirror designs. The arched knob proportionally coordinates with the body, with shoulder lines flowing seamlessly into spout and handle—demonstrating the "roundness within squareness" modeling philosophy. Provincial-level master Li Wei enhances it with bamboo-themed carvings, etching Su Dongpo's verse "Better meals without meat than homes without bamboo" on the lid. This integration of poetry, calligraphy, and zisha material conveys literati elegance.
Practically designed, the Yixing purple clay teapot's moderate size suits personal use or gatherings. Its broad opening facilitates tea loading and cleaning, while the porous clay gradually absorbs tea aroma, developing natural patina. The ball-filter system effectively separates leaves from liquor. For maintenance, rinse with water after use, avoid detergents, and periodically polish with tea cloth. Store dry and ventilated.
Collectors will appreciate this Chinese zisha teapot's dual artistic merits. Creator Bao represents Yixing's mid-generation masters renowned for precise shaping, while decorator Li—dean of Wuxi Arts Institute—pioneers painting-zisha fusion styles. Their collaborative work carries exceptional collectible value. Novices will find this 170ml Jingwa Teapot ideal for exploring fermented teas like pu'erh, balancing tradition with innovation in daily use or gifting.
When purchasing Yixing teapots, verify authenticity: Genuine zisha clay develops color changes through use, showing natural granular texture. Ensure proper certification—this teapot includes signed certificates from both artists, guaranteeing artistic authenticity and collection value.
