Bian Shi Teapot by Master Dong Yaqin - Handmade｜Zhu Ni Clay 160cc

A handmade Yixing Zhuni teapot by Master Dong Yaqin, crafted from original ore Zhuni clay from Huanglong Mountain. With its elegant Bian Shi form, warm red clay tone, and refined pottery carving, this 160cc teapot carries a quiet scholarly character.

The Bian Shi shape is known for its low, flattened body and calm, balanced proportions. Its softly extended shoulders provide a graceful surface for Master Dong’s hand-carved calligraphy and artistic details, giving the piece a literati-inspired aesthetic without feeling overly ornate.

Product Details

Artist: Master Dong Yaqin
Clay: Original Ore Zhuni Clay from Huanglong Mountain
Craft: Handmade with pottery carving
Capacity: 160cc
Shape: Bian Shi Yixing teapot

Recommended Tea Pairing

Best for: Dancong oolong, Tie Guan Yin, Wuyi rock tea, fragrant oolong, and black tea.

Zhuni clay is valued for its dense texture, strong heat retention, and ability to concentrate fragrance. It is especially suitable for teas with floral, roasted, bright, or high-aroma notes.

Why This Piece Stands Out

This piece stands out for its refined flattened form, vivid Zhuni clay color, compact 160cc capacity, and elegant carved details. The carving flows naturally across the teapot’s body, adding a scholarly artistic quality while preserving the clean beauty of the Bian Shi form.

Care Instructions

Before first use, gently warm the teapot with warm water before adding boiling water, especially in colder rooms. After each tea session, rinse with hot water only and let it air-dry completely with the lid off. Avoid soap or detergent.

With regular use and proper care, the Zhuni clay surface may gradually develop a deeper, softer crimson luster over time.
