The Yixing zisha teapot stands as a unique representative of Chinese traditional handicrafts, with the "Shipiao" shape being one of the most beloved classic designs. This handmade Yixing teapot, crafted by national-level craft artist Wang Lijuan, has a 220ml capacity ideal for daily tea brewing. Its design draws inspiration from ancient water ladles, featuring clean flowing lines and a stable triangular structure. The spout curves upward slightly, the handle bends naturally, and the lid fits snugly against the rim - maintaining traditional aesthetics while meeting modern ergonomic requirements.

Made from special "Sumatra Blue" clay sourced from Yixing, China, this purple clay teapot develops a distinctive blue-gray hue with metallic luster after prolonged aging and firing. The granular texture of the material provides excellent breathability, enhancing tea aroma development. With prolonged use, the surface gradually develops a warm patina and deeper coloration.

The calculated spout curvature creates an elegant water arc, preventing spills even at extreme angles.
