The decorative elements were completed by Jiangsu Province Craft Master Chu Lizhi. His intricate carvings on the teapot body preserve traditional charm while incorporating modern aesthetic features. Using low-relief carving techniques, Master Chu seamlessly integrated patterns with the teapot form, enhancing visual depth without compromising grip comfort.

This handmade Yixing zisha teapot employs rare golden clay from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing. The raw materials underwent decade-long natural weathering and oxidation before processing. Fired through traditional methods, this specially proportioned clay develops a unique golden hue with sparkling mineral crystals.

The ancient dragon kiln wood-firing process, preserved for centuries, maintains stable temperatures around 1180°C for 72 hours using pine wood. This traditional Chinese zisha teapot firing method creates natural ash deposits and unique flame patterns, while ensuring excellent breathability that improves with prolonged tea brewing.

Designed with a 280ml capacity ideal for 3-4 people, the flattened spherical body lowers the center of gravity for stable handling. Its wide mouth accommodates whole tea leaves, while the arched lid ensures perfect sealing. The precisely angled spout enables smooth pouring without dripping.

The ergonomic handle follows natural finger contours, and the bridge-shaped knob allows easy opening even when heated. Each curve demonstrates meticulous refinement, embodying the "simplicity without simplistic" aesthetic pursuit.

This purple clay teapot set excels in brewing Pu'er and aged white teas requiring high-temperature infusion. Its dual-pore structure regulates water temperature and maintains tea flavor consistency. Repeated use gradually develops a lustrous patina that deepens the surface coloration.


Crafting this Yixing teapot involved numerous challenges. Each stage - from clay preparation to drying, carving to firing - demanded precise control. During the critical wood-firing phase, artisans maintained 24/7 vigilance, adjusting fuel frequency by flame color to prevent failures.


For collectors, this Chinese Yixing zisha teapot offers multiple values: a functional daily utensil and inheritable artwork. Combining Master Zhou's expertise, Master Chu's decoration skills, and rare golden clay, it represents an exceptional masterpiece. Whether used for tea ceremonies or displayed as art, it embodies the enduring charm of Chinese traditional craftsmanship.
