Exquisite Dragon Carved Yixing Teapot: Masterpiece by Jiang Yaping, Artisan Collection
$342.86A 20cc purple clay teapot with dragon carvings, 9-hole filtration, and hand-sculpted details by master artisan Jiang Yaping. Collectible art meets functionality.
This Yixing zisha teapot bears an evocative name - "Shuanglong Xizhu (Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl)". Handcrafted by national senior craft artist Jiang Yaping, it represents the pinnacle of purple clay teapot artistry. The entire teapot is fired from raw ore zini clay with a 20cc capacity, embodying compact yet exquisite handmade tea ware craftsmanship. Its base features nine rhombus-shaped drainage holes that ensure smooth pouring without clogging, combining practicality with ingenious design.
The most captivating aspect lies in its sculptural form. The robust body lines exude majestic oriental aesthetics, while the lid's apex showcases two intricately coiled Chinese dragons. These meticulously carved creatures face each other, their gazes fixed on the central pearl, realizing the classic "double dragons playing with pearl" motif. From detailed scales to discernible claw joints, every anatomical feature manifests in striking relief. Fingertips tracing the lid surface encounter three-dimensional textures mimicking living draconic skin.
The handle's innovation matches this artistry. Shaped as a complete sinuous dragon, its curvature ergonomically conforms to human grip. The tail merges with the body, echoing the lid carvings. This design creates the illusion of dual celestial dragons guarding the zisha teapot, harmonizing functionality with artistic vision. When holding this Chinese purple clay teapot for brewing, one essentially grasps a vibrant sculpture.
Surface engraving achieves masterful execution. Using specialized tools, artisans carved auspicious cloud patterns into the Yixing teapot's body, with varying incision depths creating mist-like visual effects. Hidden among clouds, subtle water ripple patterns emerge, generating liquid light reflections when rotated. These carvings enhance both aesthetics and grip security through increased surface friction.
Despite complex artistry, practicality remains uncompromised. The 20cc capacity optimally brews aromatic teas like Tieguanyin or Dancong. Its precision-engineered spout ensures controlled pouring, spill-proof even for novices. The snowflake-arranged drainage holes effectively filter tea residue without compromising flow rate.
As traditional craftsmanship, this handmade Yixing teapot integrates multiple cultural symbols. Dragons embody power and auspiciousness in Chinese tradition, with the "double dragons" motif historically adorning imperial artifacts. Master Jiang's interpretation preserves cultural essence while revitalizing it through zisha teapot medium. The cloud patterns further carry "ascending success" symbolism as spiritual props.
Firing this purple clay teapot posed significant challenges. High-temperature processing risked deformation, while intricate carvings demanded precise kiln control. Multiple firing adjustments were required to maintain crisp dragon scale details without cracking. The finished surface glows with warm purple-red luster - hallmark of premium zini clay that develops richer patina through use.
For tea enthusiasts, this Yixing zisha teapot serves both as functional tool and collectible art. Its compact size facilitates personal tea appreciation, revealing subtle clay-tea interactions. The dragon motif ritualizes brewing, transforming each pour into cultural dialogue. Textured carvings gradually retain tea aroma, eventually scenting the empty teapot itself.
This creation epitomizes harmonious fusion of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics. Transcending mere utensil status, it becomes a three-dimensional cultural artifact. Whether displayed or handled, it communicates artisan dedication through every detail, transforming daily tea rituals into artistic experiences that narrate China's zisha teapot legacy.
