Today I want to recommend a truly special Yixing teapot. This teapot is named "Zhu Chu" (Column Base). With a 20-milliliter capacity, it's perfect for solo tea sessions. Crafted from original Tianqing clay, the material displays a soft blue-gray hue resembling the sky after rain.

The design inspiration comes from ancient Chinese architecture. Master artisan Li Xia, a national-level craft artist with over two decades of experience, reinterpreted the stone foundations beneath traditional building columns. These architectural elements called "Zhu Chu" serve both structural support and moisture prevention. Her transformation of rigid stone into supple teapot curves demonstrates remarkable creativity.

The most striking feature is its rotund silhouette. The body resembles a vertically halved goose egg, with exceptionally smooth spout and handle curves. Though circular in form, the slightly tapered base ensures stable placement. The lid integrates seamlessly with the body, appearing naturally fused.

The Tianqing clay used originates exclusively from Yixing, renowned for excellent breathability that preserves tea's original aroma. With prolonged use, the surface gradually develops a lustrous patina. The expansive curved surfaces double as ideal canvases for calligraphy or landscape paintings, enhancing its cultural appeal as a "scholar's vessel".

Practicality matches beauty. The 20ml size allows savoring premium teas in concentrated doses - observing green tea leaves unfurling or fully steeping black tea's fragrance. The rounded form facilitates cleaning, while the precisely angled spout ensures drip-free pouring. The ergonomic handle provides comfortable grip for extended use.

This purple clay teapot masterfully bridges tradition and modernity. Its matte surface feels pleasantly warm in hand during colder months. Packaged in elegant wooden boxes, it makes meaningful gifts with lasting sentimental value compared to ordinary presents.

Maintenance proves straightforward: rinse with water after use, air-dry upside down. Avoid detergents or abrasive scrubbing to allow natural sheen development. Though durable, careful handling prevents edge chips.

Priced accessibly despite Li Xia's prestigious status, this handmade Yixing teapot offers exceptional value. For tea enthusiasts seeking both functionality and artistic merit, the Zhu Chu teapot delivers spiritual props through daily rituals, transforming tea drinking into soul-nourishing experiences. Whether for personal use or gifting, it embodies cultural heritage while elevating modern tea appreciation.
