$514.29Handmade Yixing Zisha teapot using Tai Xi green clay, 460cc capacity. Created by National Senior Artist Xu Aiping. Collector’s item priced at $3600.
The Yixing zisha teapot stands as a unique representative of traditional Chinese handicrafts, serving not only as tea brewing utensil but also as cultural artifact. Today's featured "Peach of Longevity Horizon" teapot belongs to collector-grade masterpiece. With 460cc capacity, it's ideal for group tea sessions or prolonged brewing. Its most distinctive feature lies in the raw material - original Taixi ore dark green clay from Yixing's Taixi region. This rare mineral clay develops profound emerald tones after firing, exhibiting natural granular texture that embodies rustic elegance.
Craftsman Xu Aiping, creator of this zisha teapot, holds titles including National Senior Craft Artist and Senior Technical Artisan. With over three decades of experience, her works are celebrated for precise shaping and flawless details. This handmade Yixing teapot underwent 20+ manual processes from clay preparation to final shaping, requiring nearly a month to complete.
Design ingenuity manifests through longevity peach motifs on the lid, symbolizing health in Chinese tradition. The body contours mimic undulating skylines, creating fluid visual effects from different angles. Calculated spout and handle curvatures ensure smooth pouring and clean water cutoff, exemplifying the purple clay teapot's dual practicality and artistry.
Material characteristics directly influence performance. Taixi dark green clay's breathability allows gradual interaction with tea, developing warm luster over time. The 3mm wall thickness ensures structural integrity while facilitating heat transfer. When brewing oolong or pu-erh tea, this Yixing zisha teapot effectively maintains temperature for optimal leaf expansion and flavor enhancement.
Proper maintenance is crucial. New teapots require initial boiling sterilization. Daily cleaning involves removing tea residues and gentle surface wiping. With prolonged use, this dark green zisha teapot will deepen in color and develop natural patina - a cherished "pot nurturing" process for collectors. Quality handmade Yixing teapots gradually acquire unique textures through usage, becoming irreplaceable artworks.
The "Peach of Longevity Horizon" boasts triple value assurances: Rarity of restricted Taixi clay, craftsmanship value as completely handmade unique piece, and creator's prestigious reputation. Xu's works consistently appreciate in auctions. The base bears artist signature and authenticity certificate number.
Practical design elements include family/group-friendly capacity, spacious belly for tea leaf circulation, leak-proof lid fitment, and ergonomic handle. These details reflect profound understanding of user experience.
For foreigners exploring Chinese tea culture, this Chinese Yixing teapot serves as perfect introduction. Beyond being handicraft, it embodies respect for natural materials and traditional craftsmanship. Observing tea leaves unfurl through its walls while feeling warmth transmitted to palms offers irreplaceable sensory experience unmatched by other teaware.
Amid modern mechanization, handmade purple clay teapots gain heightened appreciation. Imperfections like subtle curve variations in this "Peach of Longevity Horizon" document artisan's touch - the very charm of handicrafts. When hot water fills the vessel, earthy fragrance emerges from dark green clay, presenting natural essence no industrial product can replicate.
