Since the Zhengde reign of the Ming Dynasty, purple clay teapots have been crafted, with many masters emerging over five centuries, continuously producing exquisite works that have been passed down. It is said that the founder of the purple clay teapot was Gong Chun of the Ming Dynasty. Famous teapots from history, such as Gong Chun's tree-burl teapot and six-lobed round pot from the Ming Zhengde and Jiajing periods, to Ji Hansheng's creative design and Cao Anxiang's production of the Zhonghua Dragon Teapot, a purple clay dual-serving vessel capable of brewing two types of tea simultaneously, each teapot embodies unique craftsmanship and is designed with aesthetic appreciation in mind. It is this perfect combination of artistry and practicality that makes the purple clay teapot so precious and endlessly fascinating. Furthermore, the benefits of brewing tea in a purple clay teapot and the culture of tea and Zen as one add to the noble and elegant charm of purple clay.
