Description

Across lifetimes, fate draws us together in a single thought.
Clay comes alive in the hands; the teapot follows the heart.

A teapot mirrors life, and life mirrors a teapot. See the world with a heart that is graceful, relaxed, free, and guided by destiny.

Fully handmade from aged lao zhuni clay using time-honored techniques, this teapot carries a cheerful color that grows even richer with use. Its rounded body and balanced spout and handle combine strength and softness, creating a poetic charm.

Its smooth curves and natural lines give it a harmonious, graceful form, neither stiff nor artificial. Its full, well-proportioned shape is timeless and pleasing to the eye.

The fine, tender clay has a subtle sheen, radiating a simple, elegant luster.

Magnified image of aged lao zhuni clay: the premium raw material used for teapot

This Lao Zhu Ni (Old Cinnabar Clay) ore was mined in 1990 from the No. 4 Well Mining Area of Huanglong Mountain in Dingshu Town, Yixing City. Over the next four years, it was processed into clay by Siyutao Clay Workshop.

Material Selection: High-quality Lao Zhu Ni ore chunks were handpicked.
Weathering: The ore was naturally weathered in an open-air stockyard for three years.
Second Selection: The finest pieces were manually selected again from the high-quality ore.
Crushing: The Lao Zhu Ni ore was ground into powder using a stone mill.
After numerous meticulous steps, the clay blocks were formed. Throughout this process, SIYUTAO insisted on using traditional manual methods rather than machinery and added only water—no chemical additives—to achieve the highest quality clay.

In 1994, the clay blocks were stored in a cellar for moisture retention and aging. It wasn’t until 2024 that the clay was finally retrieved. Through the passage of time, SIYUTAO has obtained the finest, highest-grade clay. Its color is naturally subdued yet rich in minerals, presenting a pure, persimmon-like red hue.
