The teapot uses authentic zini clay from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing, Jiangsu - classic material for zisha ware.

Its dual porous structure preserves tea aroma while allowing proper ventilation, ideal for brewing Pu'erh and dark teas.

Collectors value three aspects: limited annual production (under 30 pieces), innovative geometric form contrasting traditional roundware, and interdisciplinary artistry. Long-term use develops a lustrous patina deepening color tones.

Maintenance tips: Initial 24-hour tea soak opens pores. Post-brew rinsing with soft cloth prevents residue. Avoid detergents. Store dry in ventilation when unused.

This teapot serves both practical use and artistic collection. For international friends, it embodies Chinese zisha culture - transforming natural minerals into functional art through craftsmanship that harmonizes humanity and nature. The engraved calligraphy becomes a cultural window.

Purchase reminders: Authentic zini clay shows natural mineral speckles. Handmade pieces reveal tool marks on joints. Each [Hexagonal Archaism] includes artist-signed certificate and unique serial number ensuring collectibility.
