1: The Robust Ji Zhi Teapot Form And The Meaningful "Tai Ping You Xiang" Motif

Ji Zhi is one of the Zi Sha teapot forms built on a strong, elegant upright geometry with excellent heat retention. The unique highlight of this piece lies in the perfect pairing of a solid cylindrical body with the deeply artistic "Tai Ping You Xiang" motif.

The front of the pot is incised by the artisan with the four calligraphic characters "Tai Ping You Xiang" (太平有象), written with great freedom and spirit. The back is an exquisitely carved picture of a divine elephant riding the clouds, worked down to the finest line. The lid knob is itself modeled as a small fortune elephant lying at rest, carrying a deep feng shui meaning of peace, good fortune, and the drawing of wealth and stability to its owner.

2: Raw-Ore Zi Ni Clay – The Secret To A Full-Bodied Cup Of Tea

The pot is made from raw-ore Zi Ni (purple clay) from the Yixing region. This is the classic clay that tea drinkers prize above all others, thanks to its distinctive double-pore structure:

Outstanding heat retention and breathability: It keeps the tea from stewing or turning harsh and preserves the full freshness and characteristic aroma of the leaf throughout the session. The 410ml capacity is ideal for teas that need plenty of room to open up, such as Pu-erh, black tea or oolong.
Softens the water and rounds out the tea: The rich natural mineral content of Zi Ni interacts well with the tea liquor, taking the edge off any harshness and leaving it softer, sweeter in the finish and fuller in body. The fine clay, flecked with naturally glittering mineral grains, turns a warmer, mellower color the longer it is seasoned, until it shines like jade.

3: The Refined Handmade Finish From The Hands Of Artisan Peng Guanhua

Every 410ml Tai Ping You Xiang teapot is proof of the consummate skill and high aesthetic taste of artisan Peng Guanhua, working entirely by hand.

Perfect balance and function: The body is flawlessly symmetrical and the finely squared handle is easy to hold. The straight Ji Zhi spout is drawn upward with pride, giving a straight, powerful stream that cuts off cleanly without dribbling. The lid is fitted so tightly that pouring at a steep angle brings no risk of leaking at the rim.
Smart 13-hole filter: Inside the pot is a 13-hole filter drilled meticulously by hand, so the water flows very strongly and evenly and never clogs with spent leaf.
The mark of authenticity: The artisan's own seal is stamped clearly on the base, the handle and the lid, confirming the one-of-a-kind artistic worth and high collectible value of the piece.
