Fish Transforms Dragon Yixing Teapot: Handmade Da Hong Pao Clay Artistry
$257.14Artisan-made Yixing teapot using rare Da Hong Pao clay, featuring intricate dragon-wave motifs and 220ml capacity. A fusion of tradition and craftsmanship.
This Yixing teapot named "Carp Transforming into Dragon" is a masterpiece combining traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. With a total capacity of 220ml and moderate size, this purple clay teapot is ideal for daily tea brewing. It's crafted from premium Da Hong Pao clay exclusive to Yixing, China - an exceptionally rare material in zisha teapot making. When fired at high temperatures, this clay develops a warm crimson luster resembling translucent gemstones.
The most striking feature lies in its symbolic design. The "Carp Transforming into Dragon" theme represents auspiciousness and metamorphosis in Chinese culture. Artisan Liu Susu skillfully incorporated this legend into the teapot's structure. The upper section features a three-dimensional dragon head with piercing eyes and slightly parted mouth revealing its tongue, ingeniously serving as both artistic element and functional spout.
The lower portion showcases layered wave patterns achieved through special carving techniques that create undulating textures. Hidden among these waves are subtle carp motifs. Tactile ridges and grooves along the body add dynamic vitality, making this chinese yixing teapot particularly engaging to touch.
Crafting such complexity demands exceptional skill. The artisan first etches basic patterns on moist clay, refining details during semi-dry stages. Delicate elements like dragon whiskers and scales require specialized tools. The lid-body connection produces a crisp click when closed, demonstrating flawless fit and seal.
The handle replicates a dragon tail's curvature with scale patterns, its widened upper section ensuring comfortable grip and structural stability. When pouring, water flows smoothly from the dragon's mouth without dripping.
Beyond functionality, this handmade yixing zisha teapot serves as collectible art. The Da Hong Pao clay gradually darkens with use as tea oils penetrate, while heat exposure releases the natural earthy aroma unique to zisha ware - unmatched by other tea utensils.
Artisan Liu Susu's engraved signature attests to her 20+ years specializing in cultural-themed teapots. Her work preserves traditional essence while incorporating contemporary aesthetics, revitalizing ancient myths through clay.
For optimal use with this purple clay teapot, choose fully fermented teas like Pu'er or black tea. Its dual porous structure regulates water temperature effectively. Simple rinsing after use allows natural patina development over time.
To foreign friends exploring Chinese tea culture, this Yixing teapot offers a window into traditional craftsmanship. It embodies both technical mastery and the auspicious "Carp Leaping Through Dragon Gate" symbolism, adding refined elegance whether used daily or displayed as decorative art.
