Title: Qilin Zisha Covered Teacup Clay: Original Ore Purple Clay (Zini) Capacity: 500ML Decoration: Qilin sculpture on lid
Introduction
The Qilin Zisha Covered Teacup is a refined and culturally rich piece of traditional Yixing teaware, handmade from authentic original ore purple clay (Zini). This material, prized for its breathability, heat retention, and earthy elegance, is a staple in Chinese tea culture.
The form of the teacup is balanced and minimalist, allowing the natural beauty of the clay to shine. Atop the lid sits a delicately sculpted Qilin — a mythical creature in Chinese folklore symbolizing auspiciousness, nobility, and protection. This artistic detail adds not only a visual highlight but also imbues the cup with deep cultural meaning.
With a generous capacity of 500ml, this covered teacup is ideal for daily tea enjoyment, ceremonial tea sessions, or as a meaningful gift. Both practical and symbolic, the Qilin Zisha Covered Teacup reflects the elegance of Yixing craftsmanship and the spiritual depth of Chinese tradition.
