Masterpiece Yixing Purple Clay Teapot: Yang Junbao's Yun Jian Ru Yi Collection
$385.71Yang Junbao's 400cc Yixing teapot uses aged green clay, showcasing refined craftsmanship with symbolic cloud motifs. Perfect balance of aesthetics and functionality.
The Yixing teapot is one of the representative traditional handicrafts in China. It serves not only as a tool for brewing tea but also carries centuries of cultural heritage. The zisha teapot we introduce today is the latest masterpiece by craftsman Yang Junbao, reinterpreted from Gu Jingzhou's classic work "Cloud Shoulder Ruyi".
This purple clay teapot is crafted from precious aged green clay. The old green clay, a unique natural mineral soil from Yixing, develops finer texture after decades of natural weathering. When fired, this clay material presents a warm olive-green hue that gradually develops a unique patina with prolonged use. The raw materials for making Yixing zisha teapots with aged green clay are extremely scarce, requiring precise clay proportioning techniques from artisans.
Master Yang Junbao, a national-level arts and crafts artist, apprenticed under zisha teapot master Gu Jingzhou. Over forty years of teapot-making experience have given him complete mastery of traditional techniques. This 400cc capacity Chinese yixing teapot fully demonstrates Yang's expertise. The body adopts a classic spherical design with smooth, natural curves resembling a plump fruit. The lid fits perfectly with the spout, achieving drip-free pouring.
The most distinctive feature of this handmade yixing teapot is the "Cloud Shoulder Ruyi" decorative pattern. Continuous auspicious cloud motifs interspersed with ruyi symbols adorn the shoulder area. These decorations employ traditional appliqué craftsmanship rather than simple carving. Each pattern requires carefully kneading clay into thin slices before meticulously attaching them to the teapot body - a process demanding both patience and precise control of clay moisture levels.
Close observation reveals exquisite details in this Chinese purple clay teapot. The three-curved spout ensures smooth water flow without dripping. The ergonomic handle provides comfortable grip, while the small spherical knob facilitates lid removal and adds aesthetic emphasis. The base bears Master Yang's personal seal, serving as an important quality authentication mark.
Using a yixing zisha teapot for brewing tea best preserves the original aroma of tea leaves. The dual-porosity structure of aged green clay allows tea fragrance to permeate the vessel over time. This 400cc zisha teapot is particularly suitable for brewing fermented teas like Pu'er and black tea. Dedicated use with specific tea types is recommended to cultivate purer flavors.
Proper maintenance of this purple clay teapot set requires several considerations. Initial sterilization with boiling tea water is essential, while daily cleaning should use only water without chemical detergents or abrasive tools. Ensure thorough drying after each use and store in cool places during prolonged inactivity. Correct care will enhance the teapot's luster over time, making it a lasting spiritual props for tea rituals.
For collectors, this handmade zisha teapot holds multiple values. It functions both as practical tea ware and inheritable artwork. Master Yang's prestigious lineage and exquisite craftsmanship guarantee its collectible worth, while the rarity of original aged green clay enhances its preciousness. Whether for daily use or display, this yixing teapot manifests its owner's pursuit of quality living.
