Natural Mineral Zisha Pear-Shaped Teapot – Lao Kuang Clay
Teapot Shape & Classification
This teapot follows the classic Van Dinh Tu Phuong form — a square-shaped teapot style known for its grand, dignified, and authoritative presence. The piece is fully handmade through the collaboration of two talented artists: senior arts and crafts master Ha Ve Phong, who directly shaped the teapot, and artist Li Kim Cuong, who created the decorative artwork.
Signature Decoration
The signature motif is Sa Hai Du Long - Tuong Van Hien Thuy. The image of a “dragon roaming across a sea of sand” blends with “auspicious clouds offering blessings,” finely carved with deep feng shui symbolism. It represents prosperity, favorable weather, harmony, and blessings extending in all directions.
Capacity & Clay Material
With a large 580ml capacity, this teapot is highly suitable for group tea sessions or as a refined display piece. It is made from aged original mineral Di Cao Qing clay, known for its high purity, firm and dense surface, and rich natural mineral texture.
Functional Performance
The spout is designed for a strong water flow and precise cut-off. The closely fitted lid helps retain heat effectively, creating an ideal environment for developing the teapot’s patina while preserving the refined aroma and essential flavor of premium teas.
Artistic Value
This work represents the fusion of the challenging technique of hand-forming a square teapot and the art of ceramic painting. More than a functional tea vessel, it is also a collectible artwork of high artistic value, reflecting the refined status and taste of its owner.
Product Story
Van Dinh Tu Phuong “Sha Hai You Long” is a Yixing zisha teapot with the majestic presence of a classic square form. In teapot craftsmanship, the four-sided shape requires exceptional precision, as every surface, corner, and line must remain balanced and harmonious. The teapot is made from aged Di Cao Qing original ore clay, giving it a deep, firm, and understated tone. With long-term use, the surface gradually develops a smooth, lustrous patina with greater depth. The motif of a dragon roaming across the sea of sand, accompanied by auspicious clouds, creates a powerful and elegant visual impression while symbolizing good fortune and prosperity. According to the accompanying product information, the form was crafted by artisan Ha Wei Feng, with decorative artwork by Li Jin Qiang. With a capacity of 580ml, this teapot is well suited for formal tea gatherings and refined teaware collections.
