Artist: Chen Gao Clay: Da Hong Pao Zhuni Capacity: 120ml Pour Time: 9s Made inDingshan, Yixing
A breathtakingly beautiful small piece, exhibiting the utmost grace and delicacy. Crafted in a top grade "Da Hong Pao" Zhuni, exhibiting a beautiful textured wrinkling on its surface.
This is a contemporary tribute to this immortally classic Qiu Shui design (as the engraving on the base notes). The form is executed ideally in proportion to the antique reference pieces, with a full, stable body uplifted by a delicately curving handle and an upward-reaching spout.
The artist Chen Gao is husband to Wang Jie, whose works we also offer in our catalog.
CARE OF YOUR ZISHA 1. To clean your new teapot, first rinse well inside and out with lukewarm water. Then fill with hot water just off the boil, steep for 30s and pour out. Repeat the hot water rinse 2-3 times as needed. 2. Brew your favorite tea! 3. After the session, empty the spent leaf and rinse out well with hot water. Dry the exterior gently with a soft cloth if needed to remove any stains that remain. 4. Air dry in a well-ventilated area with the lid removed.
Other Tips: - Never use detergent or any other cleaning agent on Zisha! - Our Zisha is top quality; boiling with tea leaves (or tofu) before use is not needed. - Your teapot will develop a patina through regular use and care. Avoid pouring tea over the exterior of the pot to hasten the process, this will quickly result in a “dirty” looking pot.
