Zhu Weiping's Original Qingduan Clay Zisha Teapot: Heritage Craftsmanship & Modern Design
$642.86Handmade Yixing Zisha teapot using original Qingduan clay (520cc). Created by Zhu Weiping, descendant of master Zhu Kexin, featuring heritage craftsmanship and museum-collected artistry.
Today we recommend a new Yixing teapot work - [Fulu]. Crafted from premium raw ore Qingduan clay with 520ml capacity, this purple clay teapot is suitable for daily use or sharing tea with family. Its design balances practicality and artistic value, making it ideal for collectors.
Qingduan clay from Huanglong Mountain mining area undergoes natural weathering, developing unique textures. After firing, the handmade Yixing zisha teapot shows varying blue-gray tones that gradually warm with use. The clay's excellent breathability allows tea leaves to oxidize properly, preserving authentic flavor.
Master artisan Zhu Weiping, born in 1956 into Yixing's pottery-making family and grandson of legendary artist Zhu Kexin, personally created this Chinese zisha teapot. With 40+ years experience, Zhu blends traditional techniques with modern aesthetics as dual member of Jiangsu Ceramic Association and China Arts & Crafts Institute.
The handmade Yixing teapot embodies artisanal excellence through 30+ meticulous processes. Its streamlined body features calculated spout-handle proportions for drip-free pouring, while millimeter-precise lid fit ensures temperature retention. The natural calabash-inspired silhouette (Fulu meaning "fortune" via homophone) combines ergonomic comfort with symbolic beauty.
The 520ml capacity accommodates 3-5 drinkers without compromising handling. Interior micro-pores absorb tea aroma over time - even water poured into seasoned yixing purple clay teapot will emit subtle fragrance. Maintenance involves initial boiling sterilization, avoiding detergents, and air-drying after use. Proper care develops natural patina called "pot nurturing".
Zhu's works gain collector recognition through strict handmade principles - each china purple clay teapot shows unique tool marks and bears his seal. Compared to regular teaware, Yixing's thermal-stable clay with dual-pore structure enhances fermented teas like Pu'er, delivering mellower taste through controlled oxidation.
Ideal for first-time buyers, this Chinese Yixing teapot offers timeless design, versatile size, and understated elegance matching any tea setting. As heritage piece from Zhu Kexin's lineage, it combines daily utility with investment potential. Purchase includes maintenance guide and authenticity certificate with artist's signature - perfect for personal use or as cultured gift embodying traditional craftsmanship.
