Purple clay pottery emerged in Yixing during the Song Dynasty (960-1279) and flourished in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Yixing is a county-level city in Wuxi, east China's Jiangsu Province. It boasts large quantities of zisha, or purple clay, and a long history of making ceramics.
How are purple clay teapots made? These teapots are shaped by molding the clay piece by piece. This careful process, including clay cutting, flattening, lid mold and more, can take up to a month for just one teapot. Join our livestream to learn more about the process.
