The "Lian Zi" (Lotus Seed) is a timeless classic in Zisha pottery. Its body is rounded yet full of hidden tension, with lines that flow as naturally as water. With a moderate capacity of 320cc, it stands on the tea table with a sense of "restrained dignity"—perfect for both solitary reflection and welcoming honored guests.

The Xiling Seal Art Society is renowned as the "Academy of Seal Arts." This teapot features inscriptions by Master Yan Dahai, a distinguished member of this elite circle. His engravings are not merely decorative; they carry the profound "Jin Shi" (metal and stone) spirit. Using the blade as a brush, he carves not just characters, but the unyielding integrity of a scholar.

The theme of "Gao Jie" (High Integrity) is beautifully paired with sparse, elegant bamboo shadows. In Chinese culture, bamboo symbolizes humility, resilience, and nobility. As hot water meets the leaves inside the pot, the rising steam creates an atmosphere where one can almost hear the breeze through a bamboo grove. It transforms tea drinking into a spiritual ritual of purification.

The premium Zisha clay ensures excellent breathability and heat retention, perfectly awakening the hidden notes of Oolong or Pu-erh teas. For collectors, the endorsement of a Xiling master adds significant value and prestige. It is a functional tool for the daily tea ritual and a piece of heritage art to be passed down through generations.

A cup of pure tea, a teapot of soul. In Master Yan Dahai’s "High Integrity" Lotus Seed teapot, we find more than just craftsmanship—we find a scholarly sentiment that transcends time and space.
