Since the 15th Century, prized for their elegance and exceptional tea brewing capabilities. Made of yixing unglazed clay, they absorb teas' essential oils and improve ensuing brews.
"Xubian" yixing teapot is considered one of the most challenging shapes to create in traditional handmade purple clay pottery. In fact, it's said in the industry that "one point of shaping equals one point of difficulty in forming." To create this teapot, the potter must start with a cylindrical shape and then use a "clay pat" to gently tap and flatten the clay without causing it to collapse. This requires a great deal of skill and precision in manual operation, making it a difficult and time-consuming process. Despite the challenges, the Xubian teapot is highly valued by collectors and tea enthusiasts for its unique and elegant shape, as well as its ability to brew tea with a rich and full flavor.
"Qinquan" yixing teapot is inspired by the standardized weights and measures of ancient China's Qin dynasty. The name "quan" refers to the weights used for measuring weight. The teapot's design is modeled after the shape of these weights. The dragon-shaped handle of the "Qinquan" teapot exudes a powerful and unyielding aura, while the pot itself embodies the same sense of dignity and strength.
The design of the "Xubian" zisha teapot is a combination of the elements of the "Xubian" and the "Gongdeng". "Xubian" refers to the flat shape of the body of the pot, while "Gongdeng" refers to the shape of the lid of the pot, which is like a palace lamp. This design not only retains the characteristics of traditional purple clay pots, but also adds some new elements, making the "Biandeng" more ornamental and collectible.
