Exquisite Dragon Blood Clay Teapot: Master Xu Liuming's 260cc Artistry
$300.00Unique hexagonal Yixing teapot in Dragon Blood Clay, 260cc, handcrafted by Master Xu Liuming. One-of-a-kind collectible with unparalleled artistry.
The Yixing purple clay teapot is a treasure among Chinese traditional handicrafts. This particular teapot named "Hexagonal Lotus" showcases unique artistic charm. Its beauty lies not only in form but also in the fusion of rare materials and masterful craftsmanship. Every detail reveals the creator's devotion.
Crafted from an exceptionally rare clay called Longxue Sha (Dragon Blood Clay), this zisha teapot derives its name from the deep crimson hue resembling coagulated dragon blood after firing. With extremely limited reserves, the clay used for this teapot can only produce one artifact, making it truly unique. The purple clay teapot's material properties directly affect tea infusion quality, as Longxue Sha's excellent breathability better preserves tea leaves' original fragrance.
The hexagonal structure features six symmetrical facets with crisp edges, blending traditional aesthetics with modern geometric appeal. Artisans meticulously carved rhombus patterns across the surfaces, adding delicate texture to the sturdy form. The flawless fit between lid and body prevents leakage during pouring, demonstrating superb craftsmanship.
This 260ml handmade Yixing teapot offers ideal dimensions for daily use. Its surface reveals Longxue Sha's characteristic granular texture, enhancing grip comfort. The precisely calculated spout curvature ensures smooth pouring without splashing, while the ergonomic handle allows fatigue-free handling. These details embody the perfect balance between functionality and artistry.
Creator Xu Liuming, a national-level craft artist from Yixing Zisha Factory, dedicated over thirty years to mastering traditional techniques with contemporary aesthetics. This "Hexagonal Lotus" required six months' creation, including over twenty design revisions. Each rhombus motif was hand-carved, demanding exceptional patience and steady skill.
Using purple clay teapots enhances tea flavor unlike any other material. The Longxue Sha body gradually develops warmer luster and deeper coloration with use. Initial preparation involves soaking the entire Chinese zisha teapot in tea broth to absorb aroma. Daily maintenance simply requires water rinsing, avoiding chemical detergents. A quality teapot becomes more characterful with time, evolving into a tea enthusiast's spiritual props.
Collecting Yixing teapots involves evaluating materials, craftsmanship, and artist credentials. As representative artist of Yixing Factory, Xu's works hold significant market value. This "Hexagonal Lotus" might become irreplaceable due to material scarcity. For tea culture enthusiasts, it transcends utility to become inheritable art.
Observe subtle marvels: the knob echoes body patterns, while rotating lid produces characteristic "metallic whisper" of premium teapots. Interior walls show manual clay-beating marks, impossible to replicate mechanically. These details convey traditional craftsmanship's human warmth.
Creating zisha teapots involves dozens of processes. From mineral selection to shaded drying and firing, each stage affects outcomes. Longxue Sha requires precise kiln temperatures - mere 10°C fluctuation alters coloration. Xu personally supervised firing, maintaining exact 1180°C to achieve perfect crimson, proving his material mastery.
For international friends discovering Chinese tea culture, this Yixing purple clay teapot offers perfect introduction. Brew Chinese tea while observing leaves unfurling, sensing subtle thermal changes in the vessel. Centuries of craft wisdom continue transmitting through this modest yet profound artifact.
