Masterpiece Cang Long Wo Hu Yixing Teapot: Dragon-Tiger Carved Zisha Art by Bao Yuhua
$171.43National artist Bao Yuhua's 210cc Yixing teapot combines Di Cao Qing clay, dragon-tiger carvings, and a square-round design for tea enthusiasts seeking artful functionality.
Today I want to recommend an extraordinary Yixing zisha teapot. Named "Canglong Wuhu" (Blended Square), this piece was created by national-level craft artist Bao Yuhua. This purple clay teapot not only showcases exquisite craftsmanship but also contains numerous intriguing design details that we'll explore closely.
Let's start with the origin of zisha teapots. These teapots first appeared in Yixing, Jiangsu Province, crafted from local purple clay. The greatest advantage of Chinese Yixing teapots lies in their breathability, which prevents tea from spoiling easily. Over time, the teapot body absorbs tea aroma and develops a natural luster. This particular handmade Yixing zisha teapot uses original mine Di Cao Qing clay, presenting deep brown hues that reveal warm, moist-looking textures after firing.
The teapot's "Blended Square" shape skillfully balances angular and curved elements. Rounded corners blend with straight lines, creating stable yet dynamic aesthetics. The full-bodied pot maintains perfect proportions between spout and handle, ensuring smooth pouring.
The most captivating feature is the lid decoration. A crouching tiger with clearly defined muscles and fur patterns serves as the knob, its claws naturally curved and tail resting on the lid as if ready to spring. The real surprise comes when opening the lid - a coiled dragon with detailed scales, whiskers, and claws appears underneath, perfectly embodying the "Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger" theme.
The pot body features exquisite carvings matching the theme, including pine trees, mountain rocks, cloud patterns, and water ripples. Precise engraving depths maintain surface integrity while allowing tactile texture variations.
With 210 milliliters capacity, this medium-sized zisha teapot works equally well for solo tea sessions or small gatherings. The classic eagle-beak spout prevents dripping, while the ergonomic handle remains comfortable even when full.
Maintenance requires attention: boil new teapots in tea liquid to eliminate earthy smells. Clean with plain water only, avoiding detergents. Air-dry in shaded ventilation. Regular use enhances surface gloss and enriches coloration.
Why choose this piece? As a handmade Yixing teapot by certified artists, it holds collectible value beyond ordinary teaware. The dragon-tiger motif carries cultural symbolism executed with masterful carving. Practicality meets artistry - equally suitable for daily use or as gift for tea enthusiasts.
Remember to verify authentic mineral clay when purchasing zisha teapots. Counterfeits using dyed pottery clay compromise tea quality and health. This Di Cao Qing clay teapot preserves tea aroma effectively and develops beautiful patina over time. For those seeking distinctive yet functional teaware, this "Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger" masterpiece merits serious consideration.
