Yixing "Caviar" Clay Teapot | Handcrafted 'Shi Piao' by Artisan Chu Guofeng

Discover a masterpiece of Yixing art with this exclusive 'Shi Piao' (Stone Dipper) teapot, meticulously hand-sculpted by renowned craftsman Chu Guofeng. Made from the rare and distinctive "Caviar" Jiangpo Ni clay, this teapot is a profound statement of classical elegance, scholarly spirit, and unparalleled craftsmanship. It is not merely a vessel for tea, but a sculptural work of art destined to become the centerpiece of your collection and the soul of your tea ritual.

• The Artisan's Touch: Crafted by the skilled hands of Chu Guofeng, a respected artisan, this teapot embodies the pinnacle of half-handmade artistry. Every curve and line reflects a deep understanding of the classic 'Shi Piao' form—a design revered since the Qing Dynasty for its stable, triangular geometry that symbolizes integrity and resilience.

• The Rarity of "Caviar" Clay: This piece is fashioned from precious authentic Jiangpo Ni "Caviar" clay, a material celebrated for its rich mineral composition and unique texture. The clay naturally forms a dense, lustrous surface speckled with distinctive granular spots, reminiscent of caviar, which becomes more pronounced and beautiful with use.

• A Connoisseur's Brewing Companion: With an ideal capacity of 230ml, it is perfect for sharing tea with a few friends. The 'Shi Piao' design is functionally superb, featuring a steep angle that facilitates a perfect pour and maximizes the interaction between tea leaves and water. For the best experience, we recommend dedicating it to a single category of tea (such as Pu-erh or roasted Oolong) to allow the clay to enhance and retain the purest flavors over time.

• An Heirloom in the Making: As a fully hand-sculpted work, no two pieces are identical. This teapot carries the unique energy and signature of its maker. With devoted care, its surface will develop a warm, silky patina, making it a personal treasure that grows in value and beauty with each brewing.
