In the world of Yixing Zisha, a teapot is never just a vessel; it is a dialogue between the earth, the fire, and the scholar’s spirit. Today, we invite you to witness a breathtaking encounter of strength and grace—our 450cc Classic Duo Zhi Teapot, featuring the masterful engravings of Master Yan Dahai from the prestigious Xiling Seal Art Society.

The Form: A Circle of Perfection

The Duo Zhi (掇只) shape is a cornerstone of Zisha aesthetics, celebrated for its "Yuan Rong" (圆融)—a sense of harmonious fullness. At 450cc, this teapot achieves a rare precision. It is substantial enough to command presence on any tea table, yet balanced enough to feel like a natural extension of your hand. The warm, lustrous texture of the clay serves as a silent canvas, waiting for a story to be told.

The Art: When Steel Meets Clay

When the gentle curves of the Zisha meet the sharp, decisive blade of Master Yan Dahai, magic happens. The theme, "Shi Shi Ru Yi" (柿柿如意), or "May everything go as you wish," blooms quietly across the body of the teapot.

This is not mere decoration. Using the teapot as his medium, Master Yan employs the "Jinshi" (Metal and Stone) engraving style to etch auspicious blessings into the very "bone and blood" of the vessel. Each stroke is a testament to his mastery of calligraphy and seal carving, bringing a rugged, scholarly vigor to the teapot’s soft silhouette.

The Experience: A Miniature Masterpiece in Your Palm

Holding this teapot is akin to unfolding a miniature scroll of the Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden (芥子园画谱). It is a landscape you can touch, a poem you can pour from.

As the steam rises from the spout and the tea leaves unfurl within, the carvings seem to come alive. It serves as a beautiful reminder that in the ritual of tea, there is art; and in art, there is a wish for a life where "everything goes as desired."
