The most remarkable feature lies in its material. This handmade Yixing zisha teapot uses premium aged purple clay naturally weathered for years, resulting in exceptionally smooth texture. Teapots made from this clay better preserve tea's original aroma during brewing. With prolonged use, the body gradually develops natural patina with increasingly softer luster.

The design philosophy shines through its name "Three-legged Gourd". The rounded body mimics ripe gourd contours with three delicate feet providing stable elegance. The flush-fitting lid ensures leakproof performance when pouring. Every curve demonstrates thoughtful calculation - from the upward-curved spout ensuring controlled water flow to the ergonomic handle curvature.

Crafted by Master Zhang Juxian, a nationally certified arts and crafts master with 30+ years experience, each yixing purple clay teapot undergoes traditional manual processes. The 300ml capacity (ideal for 2-3 people) features precise spout-handle positioning for effortless pouring. Initial seasoning recommendation: simmer with tea leaves to remove earthy notes.

This china purple clay teapot particularly excels in brewing fermented teas like Pu'er. Its double-porous structure naturally absorbs aromas while improving water quality. Maintenance involves rinsing with water (no detergents) and avoiding oily environments. Regular polishing with tea cloth helps form even patina.

Accompanied by authentication certificates and maintenance guides, this collectible purple clay teapot set makes perfect gift for tea lovers. Authentic zisha teapot masters like Zhang ensure each piece bears subtle granular texture without sharp edges. Beware of cheap imitations using dyed clay - genuine Yixing teapot shapes develop richer cedar tones over time through proper care, transforming into cherished heirlooms with enduring spiritual resonance.
