This purple clay teapot is the latest fully handmade creation by Master Yang Peng, named "Mud-painted Goldfish Dezhong". The most striking feature lies in its material - 1970s Da Hong Pao clay that has been aged for nearly fifty years. The prolonged storage has stabilized its internal structure and developed a unique natural coloration. After high-temperature firing, the teapot body emits a warm reddish glow, resembling the soft glow of sunset clouds.

The Yixing teapot surface exhibits silky texture, with fingertips detecting delicate grain patterns when touched. The unique properties of Da Hong Pao clay provide gentle warmth to the hand, unlike ordinary ceramic's coldness. Careful observation reveals subtle metallic shimmer on the surface, caused by natural mineral reactions to light.

The craftsmanship involves meticulous traditional techniques. Artisans shape clay slabs using wooden paddles through traditional slab beating methods. Spout and handle are separately crafted then seamlessly joined. The lid achieves "tight, straight, smooth" standards, offering perfect rotational resistance when closed.

The highlight is natural clay-painted goldfish patterns. Using clay slurry of varying concentrations as pigment, artisans create three-dimensional effects through layering techniques. Three goldfish display naturally flowing tails, distinct scale textures, and dynamic aquatic plant movements, enhancing artistic appeal while preserving the zisha teapot's natural texture.
