Yixing Chinese Yixing Purple Clay Lidded Teacup Zhu Ni Hand Made 380ml

Condition: In good condition.

Pure Clay, Meticulously Selected from Huanglong Mountain’s Original Ore

The Zhuni (Vermilion Clay) ore boasts a subtly radiant red hue with a fine, velvety granular texture. Its moderate water absorption gives it a warm, lustrous finish, exuding an enchanting charm that captivates teapot connoisseurs. When used for brewing, it produces a bright, lively tea soup—quick to release aromatic notes while enhancing sweetness and smoothness.

This Zhuni raw ore yields a dense, heavy-bodied clay with a vermilion tone tinged with an orange glow. Its translucent, jade-like refinement rivals the finest Zhuni teapots of the mid-Qing Dynasty. Large vessels are nearly impossible to fire successfully, while smaller pieces develop subtle wrinkles after firing, echoing the timeless elegance of ancient Zhuni ware.

Compared to standard Zhuni, the coarse-sand Zhuni variety is even more lustrous and easier to season, further enriching the tea’s aroma. Generally, the lower the mesh count of the clay, the larger its particle size—resulting in higher warping risks during firing, greater difficulty in shaping, and lower yield rates. Yet, this also enhances its pronounced graininess, breathability, and water absorption.

Authentic Zhu Ni Clay From Huanglong Mountain

This teacup is crafted from original mine Zhu Ni, a vermilion clay prized for its fine granular texture and radiant red color. The ore’s natural qualities allow moderate absorption, creating a lustrous finish that enhances with use. When brewing, it produces bright and lively tea, quickly releasing aroma while enriching sweetness and smoothness.

Functional Form With Lidded Design

With a 380ml capacity, the lidded cup is practical for personal use and small gatherings. The lid helps preserve fragrance and warmth during infusion, while the mesh spout ensures smooth pouring without leaf residue. Its balanced dimensions and comfortable handling make it suitable for a wide range of teas, including raw Pu-Erh, oolong, and black tea.

Handcrafted Workmanship And Cultural Value

Each piece is entirely handmade, bearing subtle differences that highlight the artisan’s touch. The vermilion tone of Zhu Ni clay has long been associated with elegance and vitality in Chinese tea culture. Beyond its functional purpose, the cup carries cultural resonance as a representation of traditional Yixing artistry.

A Collectible Vessel For Daily Tea Practices

This cup serves as both a practical brewing companion and a collectible item. Its durable structure allows for long-term use, while the handcrafted Zhu Ni material ensures ongoing appreciation by tea enthusiasts. The blend of utility, cultural symbolism, and handmade uniqueness makes it an enduring piece in any teaware collection.
