Angel's Comment:
Delicate workmanship, vivid engraving and smooth lines, this is a very charming and collectible Zisha teapot.
This Jin Yu Man Tang Shui Ping teapot is made of Zini, modelled and carving by hand. The 170ml capacity is moderate. One side of the teapot carved four Chinese character "金玉满堂", which means “gold and jade fill the hall -- abundant wealth or many children in the family”. On the other side are three goldfishes. Every detail is carefully carved, very vivid and lovely. In addition, its spout is straight and the pouring is very powerful. Whether it is for daily use or as a collection of Zisha teapot hobby, it is very worth starting.
Material – Zi Ni (紫泥)
Zi Ni is a classic and widely recognized Zisha clay on the market, refined from Zisha ore dug out of the mine of Huanglong, Yixing. This clay has a stable, mature color, a high iron content, and good breathability and structure. Along with this, it barely contracts when fired and molds easily, marking it as a good choice for large crafts and also the first choice of clay for many Zisha makers. Teapots made out of Zi Ni can easily maintain a lustrous shine, and are generally preferred for brewing light-roasted oolong or pu-erh teas.
