Shui Ping is a timeless design piece. This 110ml teapot is made of 20-year-old purple clay, Zi Ni. Aging the clay is a lengthy process that enhances the properties of the famous purple clay. Aging the clay helps the material mature: the particles break down more evenly, the moisture distribution stabilizes, and the clay becomes more homogeneous. It accounts for a warmer, more vibrant color and a better overall look and feel of the finished product.
