The Pinnacle of Tea Artistry

This fully handcrafted Stone Dipper (Shipiao)—one of the 10 Classic Zisha Forms—transcends functionality to become a three-dimensional philosophical statement. Carved from precious Chenxiang Duan clay and inscribed with Lao Tzu’s timeless wisdom, it’s designed for tea drinkers who seek depth in every pour.

Artisan Secrets

1. Huanglong Mountain’s "Incense Clay"

  • Rare Chenxiang Duan Clay:
    ✓ Mined in original Huanglong Mountain Clay
    ✓ Natural sandalwood aroma when heated
    ✓ Develops antique patina like aged mahogany

2. Dual Carving Mastery

  • Calligraphy: "上善若水" (The supreme goodness is like water) from Tao Te Ching

  • Whimsical Surprise: Three carved shrimps hidden at the base. Symbolizing joy, freedom, and adaptability

3. Classic Shipiao Geometry

  • 45° "Golden Angle" spout – Drip-free pouring

  • Triangular equilibrium – Perfect weight distribution

  • 170ml capacity – Ideal for concentrated tastings
