The most distinctive feature of this Chinese zisha teapot lies in its material. It utilizes rare "Dragon Bone Gold Sand" clay mined from Huanglong Mountain's original ore. This deep purple mineral proves extremely hard, historically challenging for potters to fire independently due to insufficient traditional kiln temperatures. Previously, artisans could only grind it into powder for minimal addition to other clays.

Modern high-temperature kilns reaching over 150°C have revolutionized this process. The fired purple clay teapot now displays unique metallic luster resembling cast iron, adorned with golden speckles that enhance water quality and tea sweetness.

As a national-level artisan, Master Xu completes each work over months. The "Whirling Sunflower" undergoes twelve meticulous processes. With scarce raw materials, annual production remains extremely limited - fewer than 100 authentic pieces exist worldwide, making them highly collectible.

Maintaining this Chinese purple clay teapot requires specific care. Season with tea broth initially, then clean only with water. Over time, natural patina enhances its metallic glow.

For tea enthusiasts, this purple clay teapot serves both as functional ware and inheritable art. It embodies China's traditional craftsmanship and modern technology fusion. Each piece remains unique with irreplicable golden particle patterns resembling fingerprints.

Authentic "Dragon Bone Gold Sand" teapots can be identified by three features: noticeable weight, faint blue-purple iridescence under light, and evenly distributed golden particles under magnification.

This handmade Yixing teapot offers daily utility and appreciation potential. With diminishing mineral resources, such rare clay teapots appreciate annually. For collectors, it transcends mere utensil status, becoming a cultural legacy carrying traditional wisdom through generations of tea rituals.
