龙血砂大亨仿古紫砂壶

Da Heng Fang Gu Teapot · Dragon Blood Sand Clay · Yixing Zisha | 230cc

The Da Heng Fang Gu (大亨俷古) teapot combines two of the most celebrated elements in Yixing Zisha tradition: the commanding Da Heng (Grand Magnate) form — a shape associated with wealth, authority, and refined taste — and the timeless Fang Gu (Antique) silhouette, which draws inspiration from ancient Chinese bronze vessels. Together, they create a teapot of extraordinary presence and cultural depth.

This piece is crafted from Dragon Blood Sand (龙血沙) clay — one of the most visually dramatic and rare of all Zisha clays, named for its deep, fiery reddish-crimson hue that evokes the legendary blood of the dragon. It embodies a craft tradition recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage of China.

Clay & Craftsmanship

• Clay: Dragon Blood Sand (龙血沙) — exceptionally rare, with a deep crimson-red tone and a naturally gritty, sand-like texture that catches the light dramatically
• Technique: Traditional Yixing handcraft methods, honoring centuries of Zisha artistry
• Capacity: 230cc — ideal for focused gongfu tea sessions

The Da Heng Fang Gu Form — Power & Antiquity

The Da Heng form is one of the most commanding in the Zisha canon — broad, confident, and authoritative, it speaks of prosperity and success. The Fang Gu (Antique) interpretation adds a layer of historical gravitas, connecting the teapot to the ancient bronze ritual vessels of Chinese civilization. Together, they create a form that is both timeless and powerful.

Dragon Blood Sand — Fire in Every Pour

Dragon Blood Sand clay is among the most visually striking of all Zisha materials. Its deep crimson surface, flecked with natural mineral inclusions, glows like embers in the light. Its dense, mineral-rich structure enhances the body and warmth of tea, making it an exceptional companion for aged pu-erh, roasted oolongs, and full-bodied rock teas. With use, its surface develops a rich, fiery patina that deepens its legendary character.

A Teapot of Legend & Prestige

The Da Heng Fang Gu in Dragon Blood Sand is a bold collector's statement — a teapot that commands attention, carries cultural weight, and rewards the discerning tea lover who appreciates both beauty and history in every pour.
