Mastering Tradition: Yang Peng's Shapiao Yixing Teapot with Zhang Zhigang's Clay Art
$342.86Yang Peng's 250cc Shapiao Yixing teapot, made with vintage Ben Shan clay and decorated by Zhang Zhigang's paintings. 2400 CNY.
The Yixing zisha teapot stands as one of the representative traditional Chinese handicrafts. Master Yang Peng's stone dipper-shaped teapot exemplifies the essence of zisha art. This purple clay teapot adopts the classic stone dipper form, featuring clean fluid lines and well-proportioned dimensions that balance practical functionality with artistic beauty.
Crafted from precious aged original mountain green clay sourced from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing, this Chinese zisha teapot benefits from years of natural aging that refined its texture into exceptional smoothness. When fired, the clay reveals a soft beige hue with jade-like luster. The teapot's surface offers silk-like tactility, developing increasingly attractive patina through prolonged use.
With 250ml capacity ideal for 3-4 tea drinkers, this handmade Yixing teapot demonstrates meticulous engineering. The spout ensures smooth pouring without dripping, while the tight-fitting lid prevents leakage. Its broad base guarantees stability on tea tables, and the ergonomic handle arc fits comfortably in palm.
Master Zhang Zhigang's clay painting technique adorns the teapot body. Artisans layer colored zisha clays to create three-dimensional landscapes, floral motifs or traditional patterns through this demanding decoration method that preserves the vessel's breathability while maintaining aesthetic integrity.
Creating such Yixing zisha teapot involves over thirty procedures. From clay purification through manual wedging (repeated hammering to homogenize texture), to traditional shaping techniques ensuring uniform wall thickness. Firing requires precise kiln temperature control within ±20℃, followed by surface finishing for natural luster.
This purple clay teapot serves both practical and collectible purposes. Its zisha material enhances tea aroma extraction during daily use, while gradually developing distinctive "tea patina". As artwork, it embodies the creator's aesthetic vision and technical mastery, with artist seals and painter signatures enhancing its collectible value.
Proper maintenance includes initial tea broth seasoning to eliminate earthy odors, thorough cleaning after each use, and dedicating specific teapots to particular tea varieties. For long-term storage, keep the Yixing teapot dry in ventilated conditions.
Master Yang's stone dipper teapot represents contemporary continuation of traditional zisha craftsmanship. Combining classical form with premium materials and exquisite decoration, this functional artwork satisfies both tea brewing needs and collector aspirations. Through such Chinese Yixing zisha teapot, one appreciates the profound heritage of Chinese tea culture and the enduring charm of artisan spirit.
