$342.86Handmade Yixing teapot with 50cc capacity, using natural Stone Yellow Clay. Expertly crafted by Xu Liuming, offering durability and refined tea flavor enhancement.
Today I'd like to introduce a noteworthy Yixing teapot - Qianchonglang (Thousand Waves). This handmade zisha teapot was personally crafted by National-level Craft Artist Xu Liuming using premium Shihuang clay from his private collection, with a capacity of 50cc. For tea enthusiasts, this purple clay teapot not only enhances tea brewing experience but also holds significant collectible value.
As a representative of Chinese traditional craftsmanship, the Yixing zisha teapot's uniqueness lies in its use of distinctive Zisha clay from Yixing. The Shihuang clay used for this Qianchonglang teapot belongs to rare varieties of zisha clay. When fired at high temperatures, this material develops a warm reddish-brown hue with delicate silver speckles resembling powdered sugar. A Chinese zisha teapot made with this clay will develop increasing luster through prolonged use.
With over 30 years of experience, Master Xu skillfully blends traditional techniques with modern aesthetics. The Qianchonglang's body mimics layered waves featuring nine undulating ridges from base to rim. This yixing teapot shape ensures visual appeal and ergonomic comfort. The seamless lines of the spout and handle demonstrate the artisan's technical mastery.
This 50cc purple clay teapot excels in functionality for brewing aromatic teas like Tieguanyin or Dancong. Its spout features refined mesh filtering for smooth pouring, while the precision-fitted lid prevents leakage even when inverted. Beginners will appreciate this handmade Yixing teapot's user-friendly design.
Maintaining zisha teapots is straightforward. Rinse new teapots with water, then soak in warm tea liquor for two hours. Clean tea residue promptly after each use and wipe with soft cloth. The Qianchonglang's exceptional clay develops noticeable patina within a month of regular use. Remember to dedicate each Yixing zisha teapot to specific tea categories for optimal aroma absorption.
Priced 20% lower than comparable works by same-tier artisans, this Chinese purple clay teapot offers excellent value. Master Xu's personal clay reserves reduce material costs. For collectors with ¥3,000 budgets, it delivers both daily utility and appreciation potential.
Collectibility of handmade Yixing teapots depends on three factors: clay quality, craftsmanship, and artist reputation. Qianchonglang excels in all aspects. The dwindling Shihuang clay reserves limit annual production to under 100 pieces. Visible handcrafting marks inside the body authenticate its manual creation. Combined with the artist's national certification, this zisha teapot's value will appreciate over time.
The dual-pore structure of Yixing teapots better preserves tea aromas and regulates water temperature compared to glass/porcelain ware. This 50cc Chinese yixing teapot perfectly serves 2-3 people, maintaining tea freshness without waste. Its lightweight design ensures comfortable handling during prolonged sessions.
For international friends, this purple clay teapot set serves as both functional utensil and cultural bridge. Qianchonglang's design inspiration comes from Jiangnan watertown ripples, with knob resembling a dew drop about to touch water. This nature-infused design philosophy embodies China's traditional "harmony between heaven and humanity" concept. Pair it with wooden tray for bottom protection and enhanced tea ceremony ambiance.
Well-maintained Yixing zisha teapots can last centuries. Allow monthly drying periods and store unused pieces in breathable cotton wraps. During winter temperature fluctuations, pre-warm teapots with tepid water before use. These simple care methods extend your zisha teapot's lifespan.
Finally, this teapot suits various users: beginners appreciate its easy maintenance, while connoisseurs value rare clay and master craftsmanship. Paired with custom brocade boxes, it makes meaningful cultural gift. Whether for personal use or gifting, this handmade Yixing teapot beautifully conveys Chinese tea culture's charm.
