Aurora Purple Gold Wood-fired Xishi Teapot

[A Dance of Fire and Earth, Condensing into an Aurora on the Table] Each wood-fired teapot is a unique piece, born from the kiln fire after enduring the test of high temperatures and time. The most captivating aspect of this teapot lies in its iridescent purple-gold luster. This is not artificial glazing, but rather a natural glaze formed naturally by the ash from the burning wood and minerals in the clay under the high-temperature reducing atmosphere. Rotating it under different lighting conditions reveals a nebula-like interplay of purple-blue and metallic sheen, exuding a sophisticated yet luxurious aura. ✨ Features • Unique Kiln Transformation: A different view from every angle, rich layers of fire marks and ash, a strong metallic luster, and a warm, jade-like feel. • Exquisite Craftsmanship: A rounded, full body with elegant, flowing lines, and a comfortable, effortless handle. • Professional Water Flow Design: • Honeycomb Spherical Filter: The interior of the pot is not only meticulously cleaned, but also features a high-quality, multi-pore spherical filter (see detail image) to effectively filter tea leaves without clogging. • Smooth Water Flow: A straight, continuous water flow produces a smooth, even spray without splashing, and the flow stops cleanly (see actual water flow image). • Soft and Sweet Water: The micropores in wood-fired ceramic pots absorb impurities and soften the water, resulting in a richer, smoother tea flavor, making it particularly suitable for brewing aged teas, Pu-erh, or heavily fermented teas. 📝 Use and Maintenance 1. Before first use, rinse with warm water and then rinse the pot with hot water. 2. The Joy of Nurturing the Pot: After a period of use, the color of the wood-fired pot will become more lustrous and warm with the tea it contains; it is a teaware that "grows." 3. Do not use chemical cleaners when cleaning; simply rinse with water and air dry. ⚠️ Purchase Notes • Regarding color difference: Wood-fired pieces retain their natural ash color. Photos are taken under natural/indoor light to strive for accurate color reproduction, but slight color differences may occur between different screens. Please refer to the actual product. • Regarding perfection: The handmade and wood-firing processes are uncontrollable. Minor mineral imperfections, pores, or glaze runs may appear on the surface. These are characteristic features and the soul of wood-firing, not defects. Please consider carefully before ordering if you mind these imperfections.
