This teapot named "Auspicious Lion Blessing" represents exquisite craftsmanship in Chinese traditional tea ware. Created by national-level artisan Chen Xiaoming using natural purple clay from Huanglong Mountain, its 40ml capacity suits solitary tea sessions or intimate sharing. The cylindrical body embodies traditional Chinese design philosophy of "circular exterior and square interior", with fluid lines transitioning naturally at the shoulder and elongated neck creating visual harmony.

The prized clay originates from Yixing's Huanglong Mountain, containing mineral-rich composition that forms dual-porosity structure after high-temperature firing. Through prolonged use, the handmade zisha teapot gradually absorbs tea aroma while developing a lustrous patina. Artisans selected uniformly-grained clay and manually processed it through dozens of procedures to ensure dense texture and optimal breathability.

The lid design showcases exceptional craftsmanship. The arched cover perfectly aligns with the rim through precision-engineered "mother-child" jointing technique, maintaining airtight seal even when inverted. The knob replicates traditional architectural tile patterns with intricate carvings, combining functionality with decorative elegance.

Surface carvings vividly depict the "Auspicious Lion Blessing" theme. Master engravers sculpted a cloud-encircled lion into moist clay - its powerful mane contrasting with gentle gaze. In Chinese culture, this lion symbolizes strength and fortune while cloud patterns convey blessings, collectively forming spiritual props from maker to user. Tactile relief carvings maintain dimensional depth without compromising pouring functionality.
