Exquisite Tai Bai Drunkard Yixing Zisha Teapot: Handcrafted by Master Yao Huajun
$557.14Master Yao Huajun's Tai Bai Drunkard teapot combines aged duan clay, 70cc capacity, and Lu Hao's engravings. Priced at 3900 RMB.
The Yixing purple clay teapot stands as an iconic representation of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. This particular piece titled "Taibai in Drunkenness" was created by senior artisan Yao Huajun, a protégé of Jiangsu Provincial Master Craftsman Yang Qinfang who boasts over four decades of experience in zisha teapot design and has nurtured numerous accomplished students. Through years of apprenticeship, Yao has mastered the essence of traditional purple clay teapot craftsmanship.
Crafted from aged duanpi clay sourced from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing, this handmade Yixing zisha teapot utilizes naturally weathered mineral material that develops a delicate pale yellow patina. The porous nature of this zisha clay allows optimal tea leaf respiration during brewing, preserving the authentic flavor profile. Over time, the surface gradually acquires a warm, lustrous finish through regular use.
The teapot's whimsical design embodies the poetic spirit of Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's drunken revelry. Its body mimics ancient wine jars with an upturned spout and gracefully curved handle, while the lid's spherical knob resembles a swaying wine vessel cap. The 70cc capacity makes this Chinese Yixing teapot ideal for personal use or intimate gatherings, particularly suited for oolong and pu'er teas requiring quick infusion.
National-level artist Lu Hao engraved the iconic scene of Li Bai toasting the moon on the teapot's surface. His precise blade work creates flowing drapery folds and figures through controlled carving techniques that maintain structural integrity. These engravings will develop unique chromatic transitions through prolonged tea staining.
Every aspect demonstrates thoughtful functionality - from the drip-free spout to the ergonomic handle and secure lid fit. Yao Huajun employed entirely manual techniques through 20+ production stages, firing the sensitive clay at precisely 1180°C to achieve optimal texture. Each Yixing purple clay teapot remains distinct due to natural material variations and handcrafted processes.
Beyond utility, this zisha teapot carries cultural significance as a spiritual prop connecting tea rituals with poetic heritage. The evolving patina chronicles shared moments between owner and object, embodying traditional craftsmanship's enduring appeal. Proper maintenance involves initial boiling with tea liquor, regular rinsing without detergents, and thorough drying during storage.
Combining practical design with artistic merit, "Taibai in Drunkenness" represents modern minimalism through its compact form while maintaining traditional brewing excellence. From material selection to final shaping, every detail reflects the artisan's commitment to quality, transforming functional ware into a cultural narrative that continues ancient dialogues with contemporary tea practice.
