Our signature Twilight Collection has been a longtime fan favorite, showcasing teapots crafted from decades-aged Wuni (乌泥), a subcategory of Zini clay from Huanglong Mountain. Fired in a specialized kiln at over 1,200°C, these teapots feature a smooth, deep red luster and a mesmerizing iridescent sheen. The finely textured clay develops a natural patina over time, adding to its timeless appeal.

This Duo Zhi (掇只) teapot, created during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty by the Yixing master Shao Daheng, is regarded as a classic form. It is defined by its dignified, understated shape, featuring a rounded body with a ring foot, a flat pearl-shaped knob, and balanced proportions.

The decoration features Zisha clay of a peacock within a traditional Chinese bird-and-flower motif, complemented by gold-accented calligraphy on the reverse, symbolizing auspiciousness, beauty, and nobility.

Exquisite Zisha Clay Painting

Zisha clay painting is a traditional Yixing teapot decoration method that became popular in the late 17th century during the Qing Dynasty. The technique involves applying a fine clay slurry, either in the same clay as the teapot body or in contrasting colors, onto the semi-dry surface of a finished teapot. Artists use brushes to paint motifs such as landscapes, flowers, birds, and calligraphy. After firing, the painted designs appear slightly raised, resembling shallow relief.
