Master Zhu Xinnan’s Liufang Teapot: Handcrafted Ben Shan Lü Clay Yixing Teapot 450CC
$342.86Zhu Xinnan's hexagonal Yixing teapot, made from premium Ben Shan Lü clay, offers 450CC capacity. A masterpiece blending artistry and tea culture, priced at $330.
The Yixing zisha teapot is a traditional Chinese handmade tea utensil. It serves not only as a tool for brewing tea but also as a collectible art piece. This particular purple clay teapot, named "Hexagonal Pot," was created by national-level senior craft artist Zhu Xinnan. Its characteristics can be detailed from multiple perspectives.
The design of this handmade Yixing teapot derives its name from its hexagonal form. The body comprises six precisely calculated and manually adjusted flat surfaces. Straight, powerful lines create defined edges without harshness, while the spout and handle maintain stylistic consistency with the main body. Such polyhedral shaping demands exceptional technical skill to ensure perfect symmetry and deformation-free firing.
Crafted from Benshan lvni clay - a rare zisha material exclusive to Huanglong Mountain in Yixing - this Chinese zisha teapot exhibits delicate texture with moderate sand content. High-temperature firing produces subtle yellow-green tones. The porous nature of this clay allows tea liquor to gradually permeate the teapot, developing a warm patina over time. Notably, Benshan lvni clay's high shrinkage rate increases production difficulty compared to regular zisha materials.
With 450cc capacity, this Yixing purple clay teapot accommodates group tea sessions. Its balanced proportions ensure adequate water volume without bulkiness. The tight-fitting lid prevents leakage during pouring, while the stable base sits securely on surfaces. The hexagonal knob echoes the overall geometric theme, demonstrating meticulous craftsmanship.
Master Zhu Xinnan, possessing over three decades of zisha creation experience, specializes in geometric teapot designs. This hexagonal masterpiece exemplifies his expertise. Maintaining complete handmade production from clay preparation to final polishing, each piece undergoes dozens of processes across fifteen days, requiring immense patience and skill.
When using this Chinese Yixing teapot, initial seasoning is recommended through boiling and tea soaking. Regular maintenance involves prompt cleaning to prevent residue buildup. The Benshan lvni clay particularly suits lightly fermented teas like green tea or raw pu'er. Continuous use gradually enhances the surface luster, transforming it into a unique artistic piece.
The hexagonal zisha teapot masterfully blends geometric aesthetics with traditional craftsmanship. Its six planes symbolize the Chinese cultural concept of "harmony between heaven and earth." This design merges modern minimalism with cultural symbolism, making it ideal for enthusiasts of clean-lined aesthetics. Beyond functionality, it elevates tea ceremony ambiance as decorative element.
When purchasing a purple clay teapot set, authenticity verification is crucial. Genuine Yixing teapots exhibit natural granular texture - smooth yet not glossy, producing metallic tones when tapped. Master Zhu's works include certificates of authenticity and engraved seals on the base. Quality zisha teapots appreciate in value over time, becoming heritage pieces.
Proper maintenance ensures longevity: avoid chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing, thoroughly dry after use, and store ventilated. This hexagonal teapot serves both as daily utensil and transgenerational handicraft, embodying spiritual props through sustained care and cultural continuity.
