Master Zhu Xinnan’s Hexagonal Yixing Teapot: Authentic Zisha Artistry in Original Green Clay
$300.00Master Zhu Xinnan’s 150CC hexagonal Zisha teapot, made with premium Original Green Clay, blends artistry and functionality for tea enthusiasts.
The Yixing teapot is one of the representative traditional handicrafts in China. Originating from Yixing region in Jiangsu Province, it boasts a history spanning centuries. This tea ware is crafted from unique zisha clay, known for excellent breathability and heat retention. Brewing tea with a Yixing teapot preserves tea fragrance, while prolonged use develops natural luster on its surface - its most captivating feature.
This particular purple clay teapot is named Hexagonal Teapot. Its design derives from six precisely calculated flat surfaces forming a regular hexagonal structure. Each plane matches perfectly in size with seamless edge connections, requiring advanced geometric precision and hand-shaping skills. The tightly fitting lid prevents leakage during pouring, demonstrating meticulous craftsmanship.
The clay used, called "Benlv," is a rare natural mineral showing elegant celadon hues. This zisha clay features fine texture rich in minerals. During firing, temperature variations create subtle color transitions, ultimately achieving jade-like warmth. Teapots made from Benlv clay gradually deepen in color through tea infusion, developing unique patina.
With 150CC capacity, this medium-small zisha teapot excels in Gongfu tea preparation. Its compact size allows easy control of brewing pace, particularly suitable for oolong and pu-erh teas requiring quick infusion. The curved spout ensures smooth pouring without dripping, while the ergonomic handle prevents fatigue during prolonged use.
Crafted by Zhu Xinnan, a nationally certified senior craft artist with over 30 years' experience in Yixing zisha teapot creation. Specializing in geometric forms, Zhu particularly excels in polygonal designs. His works emphasize precise lines and holistic harmony, each requiring dozens of processes. The hexagonal teapot bears Zhu's personal seal at its base, marking authenticity.
Proper maintenance is crucial for zisha teapots. New teapots require boiling tea sterilization. Daily cleaning uses only water, avoiding detergents. After each use, completely empty tea residues and dry thoroughly. Well-maintained purple clay teapots develop enhanced luster and improved tea flavor through absorbed aromas. This 150CC hexagonal teapot perfectly serves 1-2 people, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal.
The Chinese zisha teapot transcends mere utensil status, embodying traditional culture. The hexagonal shape reflects ancient philosophy of "Heaven round and Earth square," with six planes symbolizing spatial dimensions. Benlv clay's natural tones evoke mountain-water serenity, while handcrafted imperfections preserve artisan's warmth. This fusion of practicality and artistry explains its centuries-long legacy.
For beginners exploring Yixing teapots, this compact hexagonal design offers ideal accessibility. The 150CC capacity simplifies dosage control, while the angular structure facilitates cleaning. Benlv clay's chromatic evolution chronicles tea-drinking moments, developing personalized characteristics over time. Each use of this handmade Yixing teapot reveals the wisdom and charm inherent in Chinese traditional craftsmanship.
