Natural Mineral Zisha Pear-Shaped Teapot – Lao Kuang Clay
Teapot Shape
This teapot follows the classic Vân Đỉnh Tứ Phương form — a powerful square-shaped Yixing teapot design known for its upright structure, balanced proportions, and dignified presence. Its bold silhouette gives the piece a strong sense of authority and collectible refinement.
Form & Craft
Fully handmade by senior arts and crafts master Hà Vệ Phong, this work demonstrates the demanding technique of forming a square teapot by hand. The firm lines, precise lid fit, and commanding body structure reflect the depth of traditional Zisha craftsmanship.
Clay Material
Made from aged original mineral Di Cao Qing clay. The clay body is dense, firm, and rich in natural mineral texture, offering a refined surface quality and excellent potential for developing a warm, seasoned patina through long-term tea brewing.

Product Story
The Yixing Zisha Pear-Shaped Teapot – Lao Kuang Clay was carefully selected and imported by us as a refined tea vessel for long-time tea lovers. Its rounded body, shaped like a ripe pear, and its warm, deep orange-red Zhuni clay give it a natural yet elegant presence. Made from old-grade natural mineral clay, the teapot has a fine, dense texture and excellent heat retention, allowing the tea aroma to gather more deeply with each brew. When used for Oolong, black tea, ripe Pu-erh, or dark tea, it pours smoothly, strongly, and steadily. Over time, the teapot develops a beautiful natural sheen, as if preserving the memory of every tea session.
