Teapot Purple Clay Kirin Hanwa – 280ml Zisha Gift

Yixing Zisha Teapot – Kirin Hanwa Form, 280ml Purple Clay

Dignified, auspicious, and alive with ancient spirit. This Yixing Hanwa teapot is crafted from premium old purple clay (Lao Zini) in one of the most revered classical forms — the Hanwa shape — and brought to life with finely engraved kirin patterns and a sculpted kirin lid handle that commands attention and invites contemplation.

Classic Hanwa Form

• The Hanwa shape is one of the most dignified and balanced forms in Yixing teapot tradition — strong classical proportions with a timeless aesthetic
• Wide, flat mouth design for easy pouring, cleaning, and observing tea leaves as they unfurl during brewing
• Tight-fitting lid retains tea aroma for a richer, more concentrated brew
• Short spout ensures smooth water flow with a clean, precise cutoff — no dripping

Kirin Artistry

• Finely engraved kirin patterns across the teapot body — capturing the kirin's powerful, auspicious expression with remarkable detail
• Sculpted kirin atop the lid — serves as both the lid handle and an elegant decorative centerpiece
• Kirin symbolizes good fortune, prosperity, and protection in Chinese culture

Yixing Purple Clay – Living Material

• Crafted from old purple clay (Lao Zini) — a premium raw mineral Zisha clay prized for its density, heat retention, and natural adsorption
• With continued use, the clay develops a smoother surface, deeper luster, and richer character — a teapot that grows more beautiful over time
• Ideal for oolong, pu-erh, black tea, and other full-bodied teas
