Bearing the implication of \"jade resonating and metal chiming, tin and spring blending in harmony\", it draws on the shape and texture of ancient tinware and absorbs the elegant spirit of archaic jade cicadas, forging a dialogue spanning thousands of years within the clay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Yu Xi Ming Quan Teapot is crafted from Cyan-Grey Duan Clay, boasting a warm yet restrained texture with subtle granularity inherent in its surface. Its hue leans towards deep grey, nearly black, mimicking the color of bronze and stone artifacts, and presents a metallic matte finish—adorned with a hazy patina as if tempered by time, it exudes a colder, archaic charm that surpasses ordinary Yixing clay teapots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-zone-id=\"0\" data-line-index=\"1\" data-line=\"true\"\u003eThe teapot body takes the form of a neat and sleek cuboid, framed by straight lines and right angles. While the edges and corners are firm yet not sharp, the delicate rounded corners polished by hand soften the rigidity of its \"square\" shape with a touch of warmth. The handle features a crisp angular design, its turning angles neat and cohesive, echoing the right-angled lines of the body. The spout stands straight in a square cone shape, projecting sharply like a bronze or stone artifact—overall, the teapot resembles a condensed piece of archaic jade, emanating an aura of dignity, elegance and solemnity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-zone-id=\"0\" data-line-index=\"2\" data-line=\"true\"\u003eThe knob is carved into the shape of a cicada, in a soft off-white color that contrasts with the dark body, adding an element of refined charm. The inscribed epigraphy on one side of the body showcases clear brush strokes and sparse, archaic lines, infusing the structured square vessel with a sense of free-spirited grace.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-zone-id=\"0\" data-line-index=\"3\" data-line=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ChinaICH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44447985696813,"sku":null,"price":4411.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/9872\/8749\/files\/yuxiningquanzishahu1.jpg?v=1766817793","url":"https:\/\/ichtea.com\/products\/yuxiningquan","provider":"ChinaICH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
