Zhu Ni Clay

Zhu ni clay has a dense, silky sandy feel, a reddish colour with a slight orange glow, and a distinctly double porous structure, making it extremely breathable. Double porosity refers to the pores formed on the combined surfaces of the various minerals of the clay and the pores within the tiny clay masses. The double porosity is the result of the structure of the clay itself and the different shrinkage rates of the various minerals during the firing of the Zisha pots.

Knob Decoration

The decoration on the knob of the Zisha teapots first appeared during the Qing dynasty, a period when Zisha flourished and a variety of decorative arts emerged. The green and white beading on this teapot, together with the metal cherry blossom decoration perfectly match the clay painting.

The Symbolism of the Rabbit

As one of the twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac, the rabbit, in addition to being gentle and lovable, also represents resourcefulness and sensitivity, as well as a beautiful and harmonious family life.
