Fan Weiqun, a national inheritor of Yixing Zisha Pottery, was born into a family of pottery-making artisans dating back to the Qing Dynasty.
Each teapot he made is entirely handcrafted. "Functional for tea brewing, the teapots are refined by artisan's dedication indeed," Fan said.
Integrating with China's cultural symbols like seal carving, calligraphy and painting, Yixing Zisha Pottery has transformed into an exquisite blend of tradition and innovation with its own spirit.
