Description
| Crafted from Celestial Blue Clay with 210cc capacity, this Hexagonal Palace Lantern teapot reinterprets Ming Dynasty palace lantern aesthetics with modern sophistication. The geometric six-sided silhouette features architectural precision, with three-curved spout and arched handle echoing traditional craftsmanship. The Celestial Blue Clay undergoes 1,120℃ kiln firing to develop its signature jade-like texture with 14% shrinkage rate, requiring 13 meticulous firing stages. Hand-painted landscape motifs using natural mineral pigments evolve into organic patinas over time. Designed for optimal tea brewing, its hexagonal structure ensures even heat distribution, ideal for oolong and pu'erh teas. The tight-fitting lid prevents dripping, embodying the "One Form, Thousand Styles" philosophy of purple clay art. "This isn't just a teapot - it's a 600-year conversation between civilizations. The Celestial Blue Clay comes from Yixing's sacred earth, where only 5% of raw ore yields usable material. After 13 firings in ancient wood kilns at 1,120℃, it transforms into this breathtaking azure glaze. Notice the misty landscapes? Master artisans spent 16 hours carving using the lost 'Water-Dividing Technique', letting pigments infiltrate the clay naturally. For North American tea collectors, you understand time's value in craftsmanship. Limited to 199 globally, with 83 already claimed, annual appreciation hits 18%. The hexagonal design embodies I Ching's harmony philosophy, serving as both a conversation starter at Thanksgiving gatherings and a prestigious business gift. Picture your guests marveling not just at the tea's aroma, but at 2,000 years of Chinese wisdom in their hands." |
