The Art of Ox Lid Lotus Teapot: Traditional Yixing Zisha Craftsmanship & Cultural Symbolism
$214.29Artisan-made Yixing Zisha teapot with Ox Lid design, 150cc capacity, 7-hole filter, and symbolic lotus motifs. Crafted from authentic purple clay.
The "Niu Gai Lianzi" Yixing zisha teapot represents new craftsmanship rooted in traditional methods. Artisan Xue Fuyou crafted this piece from premium zisha clay, featuring a 150cc capacity ideal for serving 2-3 people. Seven filter holes inside ensure smooth tea pouring by effectively separating leaves from liquid.
The teapot's most distinctive feature is its lid design. Two symmetrical oval openings resembling ox nostrils adorn the circular lid, inspiring its "Ox Lid" name. Specially polished edges maintain perfect seal while ensuring effortless opening.
"Lotus Seed" in its title carries spiritual props from Chinese culture. Ancient poetry used lotus homophones to convey affection, while modern traditions pair it with dates symbolizing family harmony. This purple clay teapot exemplifies traditional wisdom blending practicality with cultural symbolism.
Clay from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing contains rich minerals that develop warm reddish-purple tones when fired. Natural granular textures from manual clay processing create unique surface patterns. Regular use gradually forms a soft patina luster.
Master Xue prioritized ergonomic details - a 45-degree angled spout creates elegant pouring arcs, while ear-shaped handle contours perfectly to palms. The rounded body measures approximately 10cm wide and 7cm tall, balancing functionality with dignified aesthetics.
Ideal for semi-fermented teas, this 150cc Yixing teapot enhances oolong and pu'er aromas. Seven filter holes around the spout base efficiently strain residue without compromising flow. Initial seasoning with tea broth improves heat retention.
Maintenance involves gentle cleaning with soft cloths after use, avoiding detergents. Properly cured teapots naturally absorb tea fragrances. Store in dry, shaded areas to prevent color fading.
Beyond functionality, this zisha teapot elevates tea rituals through its breathable clay that preserves tea freshness overnight. For international enthusiasts, it serves as both brewing tool and cultural bridge.
With two decades of craftsmanship, Xue Fuyou maintains entirely manual production involving dozens of processes. From clay formulation to kiln control, each step determines final quality. This piece preserves classical forms while incorporating contemporary aesthetic details.
Choosing Yixing teapots preserves tea's authentic taste while nurturing emotional bonds through prolonged use. The Niu Gai Lianzi model balances practicality and artistry, suitable for daily enjoyment or collection. Its moderate size and timeless design make it perfect for newcomers to zisha culture.
