The most exceptional feature lies in its material. The celestial blue clay, aged over thirty years in Master Zhou's collection, has become virtually unobtainable in today's market. When fired, this zisha clay exhibits unique bluish-gray tones with silver speckles resembling a starry night sky. The long-aged clay ensures finer texture, better plasticity, and enhanced breathability.

The true technical marvel manifests in 108 perfectly aligned ribs. Each handmade Yixing teapot rib requires meticulous hand-carving to maintain consistent depth and converge precisely at the lid's apex. Using traditional slab-building techniques, Master Zhou achieved three-dimensional textures through repeated clay adjustment.
