Yixing Original Duan Ni Zisha Handmade Teacup

Material & Craftsmanship

Handcrafted from original Huanglong Mountain Duan Ni clay, measuring approximately 6.5cm (H) × 8cm (Ø). The clay retains natural mineral particles, traditionally kiln-fired at 1260°C to achieve a warm tan hue with fine sandy texture. Features natural iron spots and mica flashes on the surface, with an artisan's square seal at the base, showcasing authentic Zisha craftsmanship.

Shape Design

Classic cylindrical form with flared rim, offering optimal drinking comfort and heat resistance. Clean lines with slightly tapered base ensure stable placement. Ergonomically designed for comfortable grip, emphasizing the practical aesthetics of Zisha ware.

Symbolic Meaning

Duan Ni clay represents a return to simplistic elegance, while Zisha craftsmanship carries millennia of Chinese tea culture. Ideal for tea enthusiasts seeking quality living, embodying the Eastern philosophy of "tea and Zen as one".

User Experience

The dual-pore structure maintains ideal tea temperature and enhances aroma through excellent breathability. Gradual tea nurturing develops a golden, oily patina, deepening the color and enriching the tea ritual experience.

Scene & Value

Perfect for Chinese/Japanese tea ceremonies, study rooms, tea house displays, and business gifting. Both a functional daily teacup and an entry-level Zisha collectible, with practical and cultural heritage value.
