This handmade Yixing zisha teapot is named "Jingzhou Shipiao". The clay used originates from Huanglong Mountain's original golden duan mineral deposits in Yixing. Specially processed, this clay develops warm golden hues when fired. With 260ml capacity, it's ideal for serving tea to 3-5 people.

Craftsman Sheng Zhongjie, a nationally certified artisan, shapes each piece entirely by hand. Bamboo tools refine the body through precisely measured pressure. Spout and handle positions require mathematical precision to ensure smooth pouring.

Its unique firing process spans over ten days across four kilns. Initial electric kiln firing at 800°C is followed by shuttle kiln (evolved from traditional inverted-flame kilns) for heat circulation. Push-plate kiln completes the third firing, concluding with hybrid electric-gas heating.

Repeated firings create textured surfaces with granular tactility, resembling timeworn artifacts. The rugged texture results from multiple high-temperature treatments. Tea liquids gradually permeate the body during use, enhancing its luster over years.

Each firing cycle increases risk - cracked bodies or fused lids might occur during third firings. Only 2-3 pieces survive from every 10 raw blanks, making each successful teapot precious.

This classic "Shipiao" design features stable flat base, triangular silhouette, and bridge-shaped knob. Traditional form blends with modern aesthetic details. The dual-pore clay structure absorbs tea aromas, improving brew quality over time. Slow heat conduction prevents handle scorching.

Sheng's two-decade craftsmanship involves 30+ procedures. His studio displays custom tools, with constant adjustments required for perfect weight distribution. Natural mineral content determines coloration - golden yellows with occasional brown speckles emerge without chemical dyes.

Collectors value fully handmade teapots for their human touch. Machine-made versions lack organic textures like interior finger marks or bamboo-tool engravings on bases.


Proper maintenance involves dedicating new teapots to single tea varieties. Weekly soft cloth polishing during initial months allows tea oils to penetrate. Jade-like patina develops after two years.


Authentic clay identification: Boiling water poured on genuine teapots releases earthy aromas without chemical odors. This Jingzhou Shipiao combines functionality with heritage value, bearing the craftsman's seal for provenance verification.


As cultural ambassadors, Yixing teapots embody Chinese tea philosophy and artisan wisdom. Their natural material respect and craft persistence transcend mere utility.


Usage reminder: Avoid impacts, detergents, and thermal shocks. Proper care enables decades of service, allowing these teapots to become family heirlooms carrying intergenerational memories.
