🧘 Cultural & Craft Legacy
The Xi Shi teapot form, named after the legendary beauty of ancient China, is celebrated for its soft curves, gentle proportions, and ergonomic balance. It is a vessel that embodies feminine grace and tactile intimacy, often chosen for teas that require delicate handling and aromatic release.
This particular piece elevates the classic Xi Shi silhouette with hand-painted lotus motifs outlined in gold and black—symbols of purity, resilience, and spiritual awakening. The lotus, rising from muddy waters to bloom in radiant clarity, mirrors the transformative nature of tea itself: from leaf to liquor, from chaos to calm.
Crafted in Yixing using traditional hand-forming techniques, the teapot is made from authentic Zisha clay, known for its mineral richness and porous structure. The surface is left unglazed to preserve the clay’s natural breathability, while the floral design adds a layer of visual storytelling and seasonal charm.
This teapot is not only a functional brewing tool but also a decorative object that bridges utility and symbolism. It invites the drinker into a space of reflection, beauty, and quiet ceremony.
🔮 Material, Firing & Form Geometry
Material · Yixing Zisha (Purple Clay)
- Symbolism: Earthbound · Resilient · Refined
- Emotional Resonance: Supports warmth, clarity, and emotional grounding
- Affirmation: “When I hold this vessel, I feel the stillness beneath the bloom.”
Yixing Zisha is prized for its ability to absorb tea oils and enhance flavor over time. Its dual porosity allows for subtle oxygen exchange, creating a dynamic brewing environment that evolves with each session.
Firing & Surface
- Firing: High-fired in a reduction atmosphere at approx. 1150–1200°C, preserving the clay’s breathability and structural integrity
- Surface Texture: Unglazed matte finish with hand-painted lotus design in gold and black; the artwork remains stable through use, while the clay develops a natural patina
Form Geometry
- Shape: Rounded Xi Shi body with a short spout and looped handle, designed for smooth, controlled pouring
- Lid & Handle: Small loop finial for easy grip; balanced handle for ergonomic comfort
- Pouring Dynamics: Single-hole filter with clean, uninterrupted flow; suitable for teas requiring multiple short infusions
🍵 Brewing Character & Tea Pairing
Best Suited For
Light to medium Oolongs · Fragrant Black Teas · Sheng & Shou Pu’er
Brewing Performance
The teapot’s compact body and heat-retentive clay make it ideal for teas that benefit from consistent temperature and aromatic release. The floral motif adds a visual cue for seasonal pairings—spring Tie Guanyin, autumn Dahongpao, or winter-aged Pu’er.
Tasting Experience
Expect a liquor that is round, aromatic, and layered. The clay softens edges and enhances mouthfeel, while the vessel’s shape encourages gentle unfolding of fragrance and flavor. Each infusion reveals a new petal of the tea’s character.

Gifting Potential
A thoughtful gift for tea lovers, aesthetes, or those beginning their Gongfu journey. Symbolizes purity, transformation, and the beauty of quiet growth—perfect for birthdays, housewarmings, or spiritual milestones.
🧴 Care, Patina & Aging
- Use exclusively with one tea type to cultivate a consistent patina
- Rinse with warm water only; avoid soaps or abrasive cloths
- Air dry naturally in a well-ventilated space
- Over time, the clay will develop a warm sheen and subtle darkening, reflecting your tea practice
- The hand-painted design remains stable with gentle use; avoid prolonged soaking
The patina is a living memory—each session leaves a trace, each trace deepens the story.

Note:
–About the parcel:
If You Receive The Package Broken, Please Don’t Open Dispute and Leave Negative Feedback, Please Contact Us Firstly, We Will Deal With It, Don’t Worry !
–About the product:
The product may have certain differences from the photos due to ambient light, camera parameters, screen color, etc. Please refer to the physical object you receive.
The product size and capacity are manually measured, and there may be certain errors. It is for reference only. Since the batches of fired are different and accompanied by thermal expansion and contraction, please refer to the physical object received.
–About ceramics:
The porcelain you bought has black spots/pinholes because the raw materials contain iron and other minerals naturally formed after high temperature firing. The qualified products selected after quality inspection will not affect the use. However, if you remove the black spot pinholes, you must use chemical raw materials to remove them, which will greatly harm the good porcelain itself.
–About texture:
The textures formed by high-temperature daily tea utensils are naturally randomly formed in a kiln that passes through more than 1,000 degrees, and cannot be controlled or avoided. Although the nodes or textures naturally formed by bamboo and wood products during the growth of trees are avoided as much as possible during the processing process, they cannot be manually screened and removed. This situation is not a product defect.
The package contains: 1 x Teaware
