Master-Carved Zi Ni Shi Piao Teapot 180ml | Collector’s Yixing Zisha Art

Product Description:

Welcome to the pinnacle of Zisha artistry. This is not merely a teapot; it is a collector-grade masterpiece that unites the three pillars of classic Chinese teaware: the iconic Shi Piao form, the revered Zi Ni clay, and the transcendent artistry of master-level hand-carving. Each element harmonizes to create a functional work of art, destined to be the centerpiece of any serious collection and a treasured heirloom for generations to come.

• The Authoritative Shi Piao Form
  The Shi Piao (“Stone Gourd”) is the ultimate expression of strength and stability in Zisha design. Its rigorous geometric principles—a confident, angled spout, a taut, circular handle, and a perfectly leveled base—demand absolute precision from the potter. This teapot executes this classic form with unparalleled authority, resulting in a pour that is both powerful and elegantly controlled.

• Prestige of Master Hand-Carving
  This Shi Piao is elevated from excellent to extraordinary by the Ke Hui (carving) of a recognized master. Using fine tools, the artist has meticulously incised a breathtaking scene or calligraphy onto the clay’s surface, transforming the teapot into a narrative canvas. This is not surface decoration; it is an integral part of the object’s soul, showcasing a level of skill and artistic vision that is rare and highly sought after.

• The Legacy of Zi Ni Clay
  Fashioned from top-grade Yixing Zi Ni (Purple Clay), this teapot offers the ultimate tea-transforming experience. This legendary clay interacts synergistically with the heat and tea liquor, particularly excelling at deepening the complexity of Pu-erh and enriching the aroma of Oolong teas. The master’s clay choice ensures a patina that will develop with profound depth and lustrous beauty over time.

• The Connoisseur’s 180ml Capacity
  With a 180ml capacity, this teapot is perfectly calibrated for the Gong Fu tea ceremony. Its volume allows for the intense, sequential brewing that reveals the evolving subtleties of premium teas, making each session a journey of discovery and appreciation.

The value of this piece is intrinsically linked to its creator. Each teapot bears the master’s unique seal, a mark of authenticity and a testament to its origin. As the reputation of the artist grows, so does the cultural and financial worth of this teapot, making it not just a tool for brewing, but a sound investment in the world of Chinese art.

Acquire a piece of living heritage. This Master-Carved Zi Ni Shi Piao is a rare opportunity to own a functional masterpiece, where every brew is an engagement with the highest levels of craftsmanship.
