This exceptional Yixing Shipiao teapot showcases the finest raw ore purple clay craftsmanship, featuring the rare black finish achieved through traditional firing techniques. The distinctive black clay surface results from firing original ore clay in a low oxygen environment, creating the coveted “heini” or black clay finish.

This teapot represents the perfect marriage of traditional Chinese pottery techniques and functional brewing excellence.
