Yixing Moonpot Purple Clay Teapot — An Eternal Gem of Chinese Purple Sand Art

Originating from the Chen Mansheng Art Museum, Moonpot is a distinguished brand dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich culture of Yixing purple sand ceramics. This De Zhong teapot, made from raw Zi Sha (purple clay) and sourced directly from Yixing, represents a legacy of craftsmanship passed down through four generations of artisans. It has been carefully selected for true tea connoisseurs — a trustworthy purple clay vessel you can rely on.

With a classic De Zhong form and an ideal capacity of 200ml, this teapot is handcrafted by a specially appointed artisan. Its dimensions are as follows: mouth diameter 5.9cm, height 7.3cm, body diameter 12.6cm. The lines are upright and dignified, capturing the very essence and spirit of the tea ceremony.

The teapot is made from premium Yixing raw Zi Sha clay, refined through the ancient clay preparation process — including mining, natural weathering, screening, grinding, and aging — resulting in a fine, smooth, and lustrous texture. Certified by national safety standards, it is non-toxic, harmless, and completely safe for use.

The straight spout features an internally pushed ball-shaped strainer, ensuring a smooth, effortless pour with a clean, drip-free cutoff that leaves no scattered droplets. The lid fits snugly and securely. The cylindrical lid knob is neat and well-proportioned, while the handle offers a comfortable, steady grip. Water fills without leaking — so easy to use that even a beginner can handle it with confidence. Versatile and tea-friendly, it works beautifully with oolong, pu'er, and many other teas.

Presented in a simple yet elegant gift box, this teapot is equally suited for daily tea sessions, refined tea gatherings, or as a thoughtful gift — combining practicality with sophistication. It embodies the understated spirit of a gentleman's vessel.
