秦权紫砂壶 - 原矿石黄全手工

Qin Quan Teapot · Original Ore Shi Huang Clay · Fully Handmade Yixing Zisha | 250cc

The Qin Quan (秦权) — Qin Dynasty Weight — teapot is one of the most historically evocative forms in Yixing Zisha craft. Its distinctive bell-shaped body is directly inspired by the bronze weights used during the Qin Dynasty (221–206 BCE) — the era when China was first unified under Emperor Qin Shi Huang. To hold this teapot is to hold a piece of the moment China became China.

Crafted from original ore Shi Huang (石黄) clay — a rare and visually striking Zisha clay named for its warm, earthy stone-yellow hue — and shaped entirely by hand, this teapot embodies a tradition recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage of China.

The Qin Quan Form — History Cast in Clay

The Qin Quan silhouette is immediately recognizable — its rounded, bell-like body tapering to a flat base, its short spout and loop handle perfectly balanced. The form carries the weight of history: the Qin Dynasty standardized weights and measures across China, unifying a civilization. This teapot carries that spirit of harmony and order into every pour.

Shi Huang Clay — Earth & Warmth

Shi Huang clay is prized for its warm, earthy stone-yellow tone and its fine, smooth texture. Its mineral-rich composition enhances the sweetness and body of tea, developing a warm, golden luster with regular use. It pairs beautifully with aged pu-erh, roasted oolongs, and full-bodied rock teas, as well as delicate green and white teas.

A Teapot of Historical Depth

The Qin Quan teapot is a conversation piece and a collector's treasure — a vessel that connects the ancient grandeur of the Qin Dynasty to the quiet ritual of your daily tea, bridging two thousand years of Chinese civilization in a single pour.
