Masterpiece Stone Dipper Teapot: Handcrafted Zhu Zhengqin Crab Yellow Duang Clay Artistry
$342.86Zhu Zhengqin's 220cc Stone Dipper teapot uses rare Crab Yellow Duang clay, blending functionality with artistic heritage. Collector-grade craftsmanship.
Today I recommend a classic Yixing zisha teapot - [Shi Piao]. Handcrafted by national craft artist Zhu Zhengqin using natural crab roe duan clay, this 220cc teapot combines practical functionality with high collectible value. Let me detail its features from multiple perspectives.
The purple clay teapot represents traditional Chinese craftsmanship, with Shi Piao being the most iconic shape. Its triangular body, powerful short spout, and fluid handle lines create a balanced yet agile profile. The design ensures smooth water flow without dripping during pouring. The precise lid-body fit remains stable even when fully filled, demonstrating masterful craftsmanship.
Master Zhu Zhengqin, a renowned Yixing artisan with over thirty years' experience, blends traditional techniques with modern aesthetics. Each handmade Yixing teapot undergoes hundreds of processes from clay slab beating to final firing. Telltale handcrafted details include visible hammering marks inside the body and exquisitely connected spout-handle joints.
The special crab roe duan clay from Yixing's Huanglong Mountain contains rich minerals. When fired at high temperatures, it develops a cooked-egg-yolk hue with subtle granular texture. This rare clay ensures excellent breathability that optimally preserves tea aroma. With prolonged use, the Yixing zisha teapot surface develops increasing luster.
The 220cc capacity proves ideal for 2-3 people. The moderate weight allows comfortable single-handed use. Seven filter holes in the spout effectively block tea leaves, while the wide mouth accommodates whole tea leaves and enables easy cleaning.
Proper maintenance is crucial. New handmade purple clay teapots should be boiled in tea water for an hour to eliminate earthy odors and open pores. Regularly pour tea liquor over the body but clean thoroughly after each use. Air-dry in shaded ventilation. Well-maintained teapots develop unique patina over time.
This Shi Piao Yixing teapot serves both practical and artistic purposes. Featuring the artist's seal and accompanying certificate in a wooden box, it makes a culturally meaningful gift. Whether for personal use or guest reception, it reflects the owner's taste.
The value of Chinese zisha teapots lies in their uniqueness - from natural clay particle distribution to unrepeatable kiln effects. As skilled artisans diminish, such high-quality works become rarer. For those seeking a lifelong companion teapot, this masterpiece deserves consideration.
