Old Purple Clay Teapot Qinquan Raw Ore Yixing Zisha 100ml
Old Purple Clay Teapot — Qinquan Raw Ore Yixing Zisha, 100ml
Crafted from raw ore old purple clay (老紫泥) — one of the most prized and increasingly rare clays in traditional Yixing Zisha pottery — this compact Qinquan teapot carries the weight of centuries in its palm-sized form. The smooth surface with a subtle granular texture is the unmistakable signature of authentic old purple clay: natural, tactile, and deeply satisfying to hold.
The Qinquan Form
Originating from the Qing Dynasty, the Qinquan (秦权) shape is modeled after a traditional balance weight — stable, dignified, and elegantly proportioned. The short, powerful spout pours smoothly without splashing; the ergonomic handle provides a secure, comfortable grip; the snug-fitting lid seals in temperature and aroma.
