Belonging to the ribbed texture category, this Chinese zisha teapot features sixteen perfectly segmented petal-shaped arcs. From lid to body, each section displays exquisite flowing ridges requiring supreme skill - any miscalculation in a single petal's curvature would disrupt overall proportions. Master Fan achieved flawless alignment through meticulous adjustments, showcasing harmonious beauty.

The greatest challenge lies in forming angular ridges entirely by hand, unlike round-bodied teapots shaped on wheels. Each petal requires individual sculpting and precise assembly, with slightest errors causing warping or seam cracks. The lid's ridges must align perfectly with the body's grooves, demanding exceptional spatial awareness and manual dexterity.

Master Fan devoted immense effort to this creation. The decades-experienced artisan personally oversees all 20+ steps from clay selection to final firing. Special ribbed designs increase risks of deformation or cracking during kiln processes, resulting in significantly lower success rates than conventional teapots. This flawless specimen truly represents one in a hundred masterpieces.

This 210cc Yixing purple clay teapot serves both practical use and collection purposes. Ideal for 2-3 tea drinkers, its palm-sized body allows optimal heat retention. When brewing oolong or pu'erh, the porous clay enhances tea expansion and aroma release. Regular use gradually develops a warm patina, recording shared moments between owner and tea.

For tea enthusiasts, this China purple clay teapot perfectly balances tradition and innovation. It preserves ancient craftsmanship while offering modern aesthetic through innovative ribbed design. Whether displayed on tea trays or held in hands, it radiates the warmth of spiritual props and human ingenuity through every handmade detail.
