Yixing Zisha clay, renowned as the "king of pottery clay," has been crafted in Jiangsu's Yixing region since the Ming Dynasty. Among its precious variants, Vermilion (Zhuni) clay is celebrated for its rich iron oxide content, fine particle structure, and vibrant reddish-orange hue that deepens with firing. When tapped, it produces a clear, metallic ring—a signature of its dense, resonant quality. Through traditional hand-building techniques, the clay is shaped, refined, and fired to achieve a smooth, lustrous surface that feels warm and alive to the touch.

This teapot is crafted in the classic "Pear Shape"—a form beloved in Chinese tea culture for its balanced proportions, rounded body, and elegantly curved spout. The design ensures smooth, controlled pouring, while the compact size concentrates tea aroma, making it ideal for high-fragrance teas such as Tieguanyin, Dahongpao, and Taiwanese oolong. The lid fits seamlessly, and the handle is shaped for comfortable, steady grip.

Yixing Zisha clay is unglazed and fired at high temperatures, developing a unique micro-porous structure that naturally interacts with tea—absorbing its essence and gradually forming a rich patina over time. To preserve the purity of flavor, we recommend dedicating this teapot to one type of tea. If you wish to switch varieties, gently clean the pot with warm water and let it air dry completely before use.

A teapot shaped like a ripe pear, fired to a vermilion glow—an enduring symbol of warmth, nourishment, and tea shared in good company.
