Masterpiece Han Tang Shi Piao Teapot: Artistry by Bao Yuhua & Li Wei
$235.71Classic 20cc Zisha teapot with 9-hole filter, carved landscapes, and Cultural Revolution-era clay. Designed by National Artist Bao Yuhua, engraved by Master Li Wei.
The purple clay teapot holds significant importance in traditional Chinese tea culture, combining practical functionality with high artistic value. This particular teapot named "Hantang Shipiao" was crafted by National-level Craft Artisan Bao Yuhua. Its most distinctive feature lies in the landscape carvings created by Master Li Wei, blending classical form with innovative expression.
Crafted from rare Cultural Revolution-era raw ore purple clay sourced from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing, this zisha teapot demonstrates exceptional material quality. The naturally weathered clay develops a smooth texture that gradually reveals a warm patina through prolonged use. The porous nature of this clay optimally preserves tea leaves' original fragrance.
This 20cc yixing teapot exemplifies practical design for solo tea sessions. Despite its compact size, it features nine diamond-shaped water outlets ensuring smooth pouring and effective tea leaf filtration. The thoughtful engineering balances functionality with artisanal craftsmanship.
The teapot's structure references traditional stone dipper forms, featuring tripod base supports reminiscent of ancient bronze vessels. Precise curvature adjustments create comfortable grip alignment, while the seamless lid-body integration demonstrates profound understanding of zisha teapot shaping principles.
Master Li Wei's landscape carvings elevate this chinese purple clay teapot into multidimensional artistry. The Jiangsu Ceramic Art Master and Wuxi Institute professor meticulously etched mountain textures and tree silhouettes that unfold like scroll paintings when rotated.
Practical considerations inform decorative placement, preserving carvings from contact areas. The arched lid knob complements landscape motifs, achieving visual harmony. Firing processes carefully controlled kiln temperatures to produce deep purple hues contrasting with carved lines.
For tea enthusiasts, this handmade yixing teapot enhances high-aroma teas like oolong or pu'er. Its rapid-pour spout prevents oversteeping, while tight lid seals preserve fragrance. The compact design facilitates portability and storage.
As collectible art, this purple clay teapot set represents collaboration between National Artisan Bao and Master Carver Li. Proper maintenance involves initial tea-water sterilization, regular exterior rinsing with tea liquor, and thorough drying after use to develop natural luster.
The "Hantang Shipiao" serves both tea novices exploring zisha advantages and collectors appreciating its dual artistic heritage. Maintaining traditional craftsmanship while incorporating contemporary aesthetics, this yixing teapot shape offers daily utility and lasting cultural value, standing as worthy consideration for those seeking functional art in tea culture.
