Boat Teapot Yixing Di Cao Qing Clay Handmade 300ml Gift

Boat Teapot – Yixing Di Cao Qing Purple Clay

Shaped like a vessel gliding through calm waters, this Yixing Di Cao Qing clay boat teapot carries the auspicious meaning of smooth sailing and favorable journeys — a timeless wish in Chinese culture. Two naturally blended clay tones create organic surface textures reminiscent of water ripples, flowing clouds, or woven fabric, making each piece visually unique and impossible to replicate exactly.

Crafted by Jiang Jingming, a member of the Chinese Society of Arts and Crafts and student of Jiangsu ceramic master Fan Yongliang, whose works are held in museum collections worldwide.

Key Features

• Boat Form – Smooth Sailing Symbolism: A meaningful shape that conveys good fortune, safe travels, and favorable outcomes — ideal as a gift for any milestone occasion.
• Natural Two-Tone Texture: Organic blending of two clay tones produces unique ripple, cloud, and weave-like surface patterns — no two teapots are identical.
• Ergonomic Design: Comfortable grip, stable pouring, and a short powerful spout with a clean cutoff. Well-fitted lid retains heat and aroma.
• Excellent Breathability: Double-pore clay structure enhances aroma release and keeps tea mellow and fragrant across all tea types.
• Seasons Beautifully: With regular use, the surface becomes smoother and more lustrous over time.

Material – Di Cao Qing Clay

Di Cao Qing (Bottom-Slot Green) is sourced from the deepest layer of Huanglong Mountain, Yixing, Jiangsu — one of the most prized Yixing clay materials. Pure in texture with evenly distributed particles, it fires to a warm russet tone. Its unique porous structure balances oxidation and aroma retention, progressively improving tea flavor with each use.

• Fired at 1200°C+: High-temperature firing ensures structural stability and long-lasting color depth.
• Fully Handmade using traditional Yixing techniques for uniform form, smooth lines, and refined finish.
