Angel's Comment:
Inspired by the guardrail of Chinese old well, the teapot is used the rare Jiangpo Ni as the raw material, and painted with vivid landscape scenery and delicate calligraphy, which is most Zisha lovers’ best choice for collection.
The shape of Jing Lan Teapot comes from the guardrail of Chinese old well. The guardrail can not only protect the wall of well from collapsing, but also prevent people from falling into the well. Also in ancient Chinese poetry it symbolized the homeland.
Teavivre Handmade Landscape Engrave Jing Lan Yixing Teapot is made of rare Jiangpo Ni from Huanglong Mountain and also engraved with exquisite landscape painting and words. This pot gives us the sense of “steady” with flat bottom, flat lid and slightly flat body, which looks squarish. The height of handle is close to the height of body, so when using the pot, we feel that the pot is steady and not tilted. The spout of the pot is short and straight, and the water comes out quickly and smoothly. The mouth of the pot is big, which is convenient for users to put the tea leaves and clean the pot. The lid is tightly connected with the mouth, which guarantees its good air tightness. The button of the pot looks like a bridge with graceful shape, which brought a sense of wisdom to the flat and straight Jing Lan Teapot.
Painting: Engraves a peaceful landscape scenery.
Words: 百川归海(Bǎi chuān guī hǎi), refers to all the streams and rivers flowing into the sea
Material
Xiang Po Ni: This clay was occasionally found in the early 90s when the Yixing government opened the “pottery capital road” from Dingshan to Yixing. This road must pass through the junction slope of Huanglong Mountain and Qinglong Mountain. In order to smooth the slope, the workers began to dig the slope and then found some Zisha raw ore, which was named “Xiangpo Ni” and also names “Gangpo Ni” by local people.
“Xiangpo Ni” was discovered by accident and its stock is scarce. The characteristics are: light brown in the primary color, after firing turning to red with yellow, fresh color with obvious granular sensation, after seasoning the surface becoming “oil and wax”. It is a good variety of Zisha clay.
