Experience the timeless elegance of Chinese craftsmanship with this Handmade Yixing Zisha “Residence of Longevity” Teapot.
Meticulously carved with the ancient inscription “長生樂之居” (Residence of Longevity and Joy) in classic seal script, this teapot embodies wishes for a peaceful, joyful, and long life.

The lid features intricate calligraphy in regular script and a central seal engraving symbolizing “Longevity” — a motif often found in traditional Chinese art to bless health and prosperity.

Every line of the carving reflects refined artistry, seamlessly blending calligraphy, culture, and tea aesthetics.

This teapot is crafted from Wenge Clay (文革泥) — a rare Yixing clay mined and refined during China’s Cultural Revolution period (1966–1976).
Praised for its historical significance, Wenge Clay is known for its elegant and understated character.

While the clay may have appeared coarse and dry when first mined, decades of natural aging have transformed it into a material with a warm, dignified texture that becomes increasingly lustrous with use. this piece offers excellent air permeability and heat retention, allowing tea to develop its full aroma and flavor.

Perfect for daily tea sessions or as a meaningful collectible, this teapot carries both cultural heritage and the blessing of longevity in every pour.
