Master Xia Ruijuan's Si Fang Ru Yi: Premium Yangzhi Jade Clay Zisha Teapot
$685.71Handmade 60cc Yixing teapot using rare Yangzhi jade clay. Master Xia Ruijuan's signature square Ruyi design with expert craftsmanship.
Today I want to introduce an extraordinary Yixing purple clay teapot called "Square Ruyi", handcrafted by senior craft artist Ms. Xia Ruijuan. This 60-milliliter teapot showcases exquisite craftsmanship using rare "Yangzhi Yusha" clay from Yixing. Its compact size makes it perfect for personal tea sessions while maintaining collectible value.
The square-shaped design features softened edges and precise lid fitting that prevents leakage when pouring. Traditional ruyi patterns symbolizing good fortune adorn the body, blending classical functionality with contemporary aesthetics. The balanced weight distribution ensures comfortable handling.
The teapot's true distinction lies in its material. The mutton-fat jade-like clay develops unique permeability after firing, enhancing tea aroma extraction. With prolonged use, a natural patina forms, enriching its luster. This exceptional clay provides better heat retention than ordinary teapots, ideal for brewing Pu'er or black tea.
Born in 1968 in Dingshu Town, Ms. Xia represents a multigenerational purple clay legacy. After studying at Nanjing Normal University, she apprenticed under master Gu Daorong in 1988. Her works synthesize traditional techniques learned from masters like He Daohong with modern design elements from Tsinghua University training.
This teapot exemplifies her signature style - robust body lines inherited from He Daohong combined with naturalistic motifs inspired by Wang Yinxian. Collectors appreciate how her creations preserve classical charm while improving modern usability.
Practical features include a precision-engineered spout for controlled pouring and an ergonomic handle. The 60ml capacity accommodates 3-4 tasting cups perfectly. Maintenance involves simple rinsing without detergents, allowing tea aroma to permeate the clay over time.
Novice collectors will appreciate its manageable size and engaging maintenance process. The teapot comes with authentication certificates, ensuring its value as both functional ware and collectible art. Authentic Yixing purple clay teapots like this use local mineral clay, distinguishable from imitations by golden sand particles visible under light.
More than utilitarian objects, such teapots become spiritual props connecting generations. Whether for personal use or as gifts, Ms. Xia's "Square Ruyi" represents both cultural heritage and contemporary craftsmanship - a testament to Yixing's enduring ceramic legacy.
