A closer look at the craft

Yixing Zisha: form for everyday tea

Zisha teaware comes in many forms: a small teapot, a lidded gaiwan or a tasting cup. Begin with the way you brew, the number of people and the capacity of the individual piece. The gallery above shows the selected product; the photographs below introduce the wider craft.

Clay painting and surface detail

In clay painting, coloured clay slip is used to build imagery on the vessel. Flowers, landscapes and calligraphy give painted pieces another layer of expression. Plain pieces are also offered; choose the actual design in the options rather than relying on a studio example.
