Description: Original Zisha: Tianqing clay. Fully handmade by national arts and crafts master Wang Xia. Hand-carved and needle-painted. 350cc. Collector's grade. Tianqing Clay, known for its subtle bluish-gray hue, is a rare and sought-after type of Zisha clay used in the making of Yixing teapots. This clay is valued for its smooth texture and excellent heat retention properties, which enhance the brewing of tea. The natural minerals in Tianqing Clay give it a distinctive, soft sheen and a refined appearance. Its rarity and the difficulty in sourcing this clay make teapots made from Tianqing Clay highly prized among collectors and tea enthusiasts. The clay's unique characteristics develop a beautiful patina with use, further adding to its appeal. Zisha Needle Painting is a traditional and intricate decorative technique used in the art of Yixing teapot making. This method involves using a fine needle or sharp tool to carefully carve detailed designs onto the surface of the Zisha clay. The process requires a high level of skill and precision, as the artist must create delicate lines and patterns without damaging the clay. Once the design is complete, the carved areas are often filled with colored pigments, creating a striking contrast against the natural clay. The result is a beautifully textured and visually captivating piece that showcases the craftsmanship and artistry of Zisha pottery. Needle painting not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the teapot but also reflects the cultural significance and artistic traditions of Yixing pottery.
