Yixing Lü Ni (Green Clay) Xishi Teapot 120ml


$180.00

This handmade Lü Ni (Green Clay) Xishi Teapot combines traditional craftsmanship with historical elegance. Inspired by Xishi, one of the Four Great Beauties in Chinese history, this teapot’s shape symbolizes feminine grace and beauty. Originally named “Xishi's Breast” due to its rounded body and domed lid, the name was later refined to “倒把西施” (Reversed Handle Xishi) for a more subtle homage. The teapot’s plump, short spout, inverted handle, and snuggly fitted lid give it a delicate balance of strength and elegance.

Made from rare Lü Ni green clay, also known as “mud within mud,” it’s celebrated for its soft texture and green-gray hue, becoming warmer and brighter with use. Perfect for lightly roasted oolongs, aged Tieguanyin, Pu’er, black, and green teas, this teapot enhances both the aroma and taste, making it ideal for dedicated tea lovers.

Comes with Artist signature and certificate.

We present here a half-handmade collection of Zisha Purple Clay teapots, teacups from Yixing. Each piece is one of its kind and handmade by local ceramic artists in Yixing.

Yixing pots are traditionally made from Zisha (‘purple sand’), a natural clay known for its porous nature and excellent heat retention properties.

The beauty of a Yixing pot lies in its simplicity and functionality. Each pot is often handcrafted, ensuring that no two pots are exactly alike. This individuality is further enhanced over time, as the porous clay absorbs the flavors and aromas of the teas brewed within, gradually seasoning the pot.

Ideal for brewing oolong, black, and pu-erh teas, Yixing pots are valued for their ability to enhance the depth and complexity of tea flavors. The clay’s mineral composition interacts gently with the tea, softening and rounding its taste, making every brew a unique experience.

The aesthetic appeal of Yixing pots also lies in their diverse range of styles, shapes, and colors, from classic reds and browns to more modern designs. They are not just functional tools for brewing tea but also works of art, appreciated by tea lovers and collectors alike.

This teapot features filter, holds approximately 120ml of liquid and pours empty in approximately 5 seconds.
