Masterpiece Yixing Zisha Apple Teapot: Handcrafted by Artist Ke Junfen in Ben Shan Lüni Clay
$128.57Handcrafted Yixing Apple Teapot: 150cc Ben Shan Lüni clay, artistic spout design, and realistic stem knob by Master Ke Junfen for tea enthusiasts.
Let me introduce this unique Yixing zisha teapot. Named "Apple Teapot", it's handcrafted by Chinese national craft artist Ke Junfen, who has over two decades of experience in zisha teapot making. Her works are renowned for vibrant natural designs. This purple clay teapot uses precious original Huanglongshan green clay with 150ml capacity, perfect for 2-3 people.
Ben Shan Lü Ni (original green clay) ranks among the top materials for Chinese yixing teapots. This natural clay from Yixing's Huanglong Mountain undergoes careful selection and traditional processing. Teapots made from it preserve tea's original flavor while developing warm patina over time. The material's breathability effectively maintains tea temperature and aroma.
The most captivating feature is its sculptural design. The rounded body resembles a ripe apple, with lid and body seamlessly integrated - demonstrating superb molding technique. The smooth rotation of lid reveals precise dimensional coordination between components.
The spout features short straight design for clean pouring without dripping. Its slightly upturned angle adds vitality, balancing practicality with visual strength that contrasts beautifully with the rounded body.
The most delightful detail is the apple stem-shaped knob, realistically mimicking freshly picked fruit. This clever design reinforces the thematic consistency. Touching this "stem" to open the lid evokes the whimsical association of harvesting fruit.
This handmade Yixing teapot showcases traditional craftsmanship throughout. The surface reveals delicate texture through multiple hand-polishing processes. The carefully calibrated handle arc ensures secure, comfortable grip. The artist's signature seal at bottom serves as important authentication mark.
Using this Yixing zisha teapot offers unique tea experience. Its spherical interior allows proper tea leaf expansion. Ideal for oolong or pu'er tea, the shape helps fully release aromas. Rinse with clean water after each use - long-term maintenance develops beautiful patina.
This Apple Teapot combines utility and collectible artistry, merging daily use with natural forms to showcase Chinese craft creativity. The included wooden gift box ensures protection. Whether displayed or used, it enhances tea moments with charm.
For foreigners new to Chinese purple clay teapots, this Apple Teapot makes perfect introduction. Its intuitive design ensures ease of use while demonstrating zisha culture fundamentals: natural materials, handmade quality, and beauty-function balance. Avoid chemical detergents and maintain dryness after use.
Over time, you'll notice the Yixing teapot's color gradually deepens from initial greenish hue, with surface developing warmer luster. This "teapot nurturing" process embodies zisha's charm. Each brewing creates subtle interaction between tea and clay, forming unique emotional bonds between user and teapot.
