200ML Yunnan Jianshui Black Clay Plum Blossom Teapots

Every sip of tea brewed in this 200ml teapot carries the legacy of a 1,200-year-old Chinese ceramic tradition. Handcrafted in Jianshui, Yunnan Province, from locally sourced purple clay—a material prized for its natural porosity and heat retention—this teapot is shaped by artisans who have mastered techniques passed down through generations. Its iconic Stone Dipper silhouette, inspired by classical Chinese tea culture, is paired with meticulously carved plum blossoms, a motif symbolizing resilience and renewal. The floral patterns are not merely decorative but a tribute to the harmony between nature and human artistry.

The journey of creating this teapot begins with raw clay mined from Jianshui’s mineral-rich soil. Artisans purify the clay by hand, removing every impurity to ensure a flawless texture. Using simple wooden tools, they sculpt the clay into its graceful form, then carve each plum blossom with a steady hand and an eye for detail. The teapot is fired in a traditional wood-burning kiln at over 1,200°C, a process that transforms the clay into its signature deep purple hue while enhancing its durability. No two teapots are identical—slight variations in color and texture celebrate the human touch, making each piece a one-of-a-kind work of functional art.

Over time, the teapot’s unglazed surface develops a subtle patina, a testament to the countless tea sessions it has nurtured. Ideal for brewing oolong, pu-erh, or black tea, the clay naturally mellows the tea’s tannins, revealing smoother, richer flavors with each use. Compact yet ergonomic, its 200ml capacity invites mindful brewing, whether for solitary reflection or shared moments of tranquility. More than a teapot, it is a bridge between past and present, blending ancient craftsmanship with modern tea rituals.

Crafted for those who value authenticity, this teapot is not just a tool but a storyteller—a piece of Jianshui’s intangible cultural heritage designed to be cherished for generations.
