The surface showcases traditional clay marbling craftsmanship, where Zhang expertly blended light and dark clays to create ink-wash painting-like gradients. The swirling patterns resembling flowing sunset clouds inspired the name "Skyline". The twenty-year-aged zisha clay develops unique purplish luster during firing and improves tea aroma retention through superior porosity compared to regular clay.
