Yixing Purple Clay ‘Spirit Moon’ Xishi Kyusu Teapot 210ml

This masterpiece, crafted by certified Yixing artist Xiaolu Li, is made from 50 year old purple clay. Its unique side handle, inspired by Japanese Kyusu teapots, not only adds a touch of contemporary artistry, but also offers ergonomic comfort. The short and rounded spout is precisely angled to ensure a smooth and quick flow.

This teapot is crafted from purple clay (zi ni) sourced from Huanglong Mountain and features a classic Xishi shape, referring to one of China’s “Four Great Beauties”. The clay offers excellent breathability, and when you consistently dedicate it to one type of tea (e.g. oolong, black or pu erh tea), it will enhances their aroma.

The teapot is named ‘Spirit Moon’ due to its round and serene appearance, reminiscent of a calm, glowing moon on a clear night. Each teapot is authenticated with the artist’s seal, found on the lid, bottom, and inside the teapot. Packaged in a gift box with a certificate of authenticity, the creative Kyusu Yixing teapot is more than just a vessel for tea; it’s a piece of heritage that deserves to be part of your tea set collection.
