Crafted by Master Fang Qinhua, a National Senior Craft Artist and inheritor of Huang Qiang decorative techniques, this purple clay teapot embodies decades of expertise. Born in 1968 at China's ceramic capital Yixing, Jiangsu Province, Fang grew up surrounded by pottery workshops. She began formal training at Yixing Zisha Craft Factory No.1 in 1985. After attending Tsinghua University's advanced ceramic art program in 2012 and studying under Jiang Yan (successor to masters Wang Yinchun and Lü Yaochen), Fang achieved Senior Craft Artist certification in 2019.

Requiring over 20 processes, Fang personally selects purple clay aged beyond three years. The material undergoes rigorous kneading and hammering to eliminate air pockets, while consistent hand pressure during forming tests the artisan's control. Precise kiln temperature management during firing preserves both color and breathability.

This Yixing teapot serves not only as functional teaware but also as collectible art. Fang's design ensures stable center of gravity when filled and scientific venting that prevents leakage. Through thirty years of practice, she has developed a signature style blending traditional forms with contemporary elements - evident in this piece's dynamic lines that soften rigid geometry.

Master Fang's Yixing zisha teapot works have become sought-after collectibles worldwide. The "Quan Niu" model embodies her philosophy: minimalist design, impeccable craftsmanship, and reliable functionality. More than mere tea utensil, it represents three-dimensional art carrying Chinese cultural wisdom, demonstrating both profound traditional techniques and modern artistic innovation.
