Handmade Da Bin Tian Xiang Yixing Zisha Teapot – Aged Zini Clay, 100ml
Handmade Da Bin Tian Xiang Yixing Zisha Teapot – Aged Zini Clay, 100ml
This is a 100 ml zisha teapot in Aged Zini Clay, fully handmade, made in Dingshu, Yixing. Its Chinese name is 大彬天香.
The clay. Zini ore that has been weathered and stored for years before use.
The form. This is the Tian Xiang form — 天香 in Chinese. It is one of the many shapes carried in the Dingshu workshops outside the small set of canonical forms, and it is built by the same slab-and-beat method as the classics. We describe what we can verify: the ore, the method and the proportions.
How it was made. Built entirely by hand — the wall is beaten out from a slab and joined without a mould.
Size and tea. 100 ml is the classic gongfu size — comfortable for one drinker or two sharing small cups, and the volume most Chaoshan-style brewing was built around. Best suited to ripe pu-erh, aged white tea and black tea.
This pot. Catalogue no. 334, 100 ml, US$240. Photographed individually — the images show the pot you receive.
Made by an independent Dingshu potter; we do not attach a name we cannot verify.
