Masterpiece Yixing Zisha Teapot: Heritage Craftsmanship by Zhu Weiping, 460cc Premium Purple Clay Art
$857.14Premium 460cc Yixing Zisha teapot, handmade by Zhu Weiping using rare purple clay. Combines heritage artistry with modern elegance. Priced at 6000 yuan.
Today, we introduce a newly launched purple clay teapot - [Wei Feng Lin Lin]. This Yixing teapot is crafted from original zisha clay with a total capacity of 460cc, suitable for daily tea brewing and group tea sessions. The clay material for this handmade zisha teapot comes from Yixing's local mining areas, rigorously selected and processed through traditional methods, preserving the natural granular texture and breathability of purple clay. Teapots made from this material not only retain tea aromas effectively but also develop unique patina with prolonged use.
The creator of this Chinese Yixing zisha teapot is Mr. Zhu Weiping. Born in 1956 into a renowned pottery family from Jiangsu Yixing, Zhu learned pot-making skills from his grandfather Zhu Kexin, one of the "Seven Elder Masters of Zisha," during his childhood. After decades of practice and research, Zhu has developed his distinctive artistic style. As a member of both Jiangsu Ceramic Association and China Arts & Crafts Association, his works have won numerous awards and are collected by multiple museums.
The design of this [Wei Feng Lin Lin] Yixing purple clay teapot reflects the artist's respect for tradition and innovative spirit. The robust body lines, precisely calculated spout-to-handle ratio, and leak-free pouring demonstrate meticulous craftsmanship. The tightly fitting lid remains stable even when fully filled. While maintaining classical stability, modern aesthetic elements like three-dimensional carvings on the knob and subtle curvatures enhance its visual appeal.
Crafting this handmade Yixing teapot involves over ten processes, from clay hammering to manual shaping and air-drying adjustments, all supervised by Zhu himself. Using traditional slab-building techniques, he creates unique dual porous structures inside the teapot that regulate water temperature and prevent flavor deterioration. The surface undergoes multiple polishing sessions, achieving smoothness while retaining natural clay texture.
When using this zisha teapot, initial seasoning is recommended: boil purified water and cool naturally, repeating three times to eliminate earthy odors. Daily maintenance involves rinsing with tea liquor and thorough drying. With repeated use, the surface will gradually develop a glossy patina, transitioning from initial purplish-brown to deep rosewood tones.
For collectors, this Chinese purple clay teapot holds special value. Zhu ensures each piece's uniqueness through individual craftsmanship. The base bears his handwritten signature and seal, accompanied by authentication certificates detailing production dates and clay origins. Whether as functional ware or art collection, it reflects owner's discernment.
The 460cc capacity of this Yixing zisha teapot particularly suits oolong and pu-erh teas requiring ample expansion space. The broad belly allows full tea leaf unfolding, enriching flavor profiles. The 45-degree angled spout prevents leaf blockage while ensuring rapid pouring.
Currently displayed at Yixing Ceramic Museum's contemporary exhibition zone, this teapot receives praise from tea masters for producing sweeter, smoother infusions. Its breathability prevents tea spoilage, maintaining flavor integrity even with delayed pouring - a practical feature for tea enthusiasts.
Note: Genuine zisha teapots exhibit moderate weight and produce metallic resonance when tapped. Counterfeits using dyed clay may pose health risks. All materials in this Yixing teapot are nationally certified for safety. For those seeking both utility and collectible value, [Wei Feng Lin Lin] makes an exceptional choice.
