This enchanting piece of artwork is definitely a worthy collection piece. Taking a close look at the pattern and shape it showcases some of China’s world artistic skills and prestigious workmanship. This rare piece of teapot was made from very old Yixing Clay material which is no longer available therefore, it has a very high collection value and would certainly add as a focal point to your home.
Yixing clay teapots are also known as “Zisha” or Purple sand teapot. Yixing teapots are commonly for use with black and oolong teas, as well as aged pu’er tea. Yixing teapots absorb a tiny amount of tea into the pot during brewing. After prolonged use, the pot will develop a coating that retains the flavour and colour of the tea. A studious tea connoisseur will only make one type of tea in a particular pot, so as not to corrupt the flavour that has been absorbed.
