Such teapots soon became popular with the scholarly class, and the fame of Yixing teapots began to spread. According to the Ming Dynasty author Zhou Gaoqi, during the reign of the Zhengde Emperor, a monk from Jinsha Temple (Golden Sand Temple) in Yixing handcrafted a fine quality teapot from local clay. This traditional style of tea pot originated in China, dating back to the 15th century, and are made from clay produced near Yixing in the eastern Chinese province of Jiangsu.Īrchaeological excavations reveal that as early as the Song Dynasty (10th century) potters near Yixing were using local "zisha" (literally, "purple sand/clay") to make utensils that may have functioned as teapots. Yixing clay teapots, also called "Zisha", or Purple clay is made from Yixing clay. Measures: 3.5" tall (not including handle on lid) x 9.75" from spout to handle x 5.5" diameter The only issue I found was a minute flea bite along the inside edge of the pot that is nearly impossible to see unless you look very closely (see last photo).
