Yixing Teapot Bian Xi Shi Hei Zhu Ni In The Shade Of Bamboo 180ml

Yixing clay teapot in the shape of Xi Shi.

Volume - 180 ml.

Hei Zhu Ni translates as "black red clay" or "dark zhu-ni."
This clay is similar in composition and structure to classic Zhu Ni, but has a higher mineral content, producing a dark, rich hue after firing.

Bian Xi Shi is an elegant variation of the classic Xi ​​Shi.

The teapot features the master's seal on the bottom. The walls are medium-thick, and the filter strainer is shaped like a "nest." The body of the teapot is decorated with finely carved images of bamboo—a symbol of longevity, inner resilience, and the ability to overcome difficulties.

A gift box and product certificate are included.

Clay from Isin is famous all over the world, it has a porous structure, which prevents the drink from quickly cooling and allows the tea to breathe. The texture of Yixing clay is very plastic, which allows craftsmen to make real masterpieces of various shapes and volumes. To get one color or another, real pottery artists mix several types of clays from different deposits, vary the firing temperature, add organic and mineral substances. But the color of the main material remains dominant. There are several basic shades of Yixing clay: red, purple, green, yellow and black.

To date, the original clay deposit has been closed. The clay used now is also mined in Isin, only in other deposits. But this does not mean at all that teapots made from clay from other deposits are fake.
