River and Mountains Pattern Yixing Zisha teapot

Yixing Zisha teapot, crafted from original mine ancient bronze clay through high-temperature wood firing and hand-made with full-carved "River and Mountain " patterns

- Clay Characteristics: Made from original mine ancient bronze clay, it has a fine and tough texture with good air permeability. Its color is an ancient bronze hue, and as it is used over time, it will gradually develop a natural patina, becoming more lustrous with care.
- Craftsmanship: Fully hand-made, every step from clay selection, kneading, shaping to firing embodies the craftsman's dedication. High-temperature wood firing uses a wood-fired kiln, where flames and ash leave unique fire marks and ash deposits on the teapot's surface, making each piece one-of-a-kind. The teapot body is fully carved with "Cold River" patterns, possibly depicting the artistic conception of "A lone boat with a bamboo hat; an old man fishing in the cold river snow", enhancing the artistic atmosphere.
- Shape Design: The "Cold River" teapot is usually based on the shape of a bamboo hat, with a flat circular body and simple lines. The lid is mostly an arched bamboo hat shape, paired with a bead-shaped knob, symbolizing a fisherman wearing a bamboo hat. The spout is short and straight, often in a fish-mouth shape, ensuring smooth water flow; the handle is semi-circular with a curvature that fits the palm, providing a comfortable grip.
- Usage Experience: The good air permeability and adsorption of Zisha clay can better release the aroma of tea leaves, making the tea soup richer and mellow. Whether it is green tea, black tea, or oolong tea, it can brew tea with excellent color, aroma, and taste.
