Yixing Zisha Factory No.1 Standard Shuiping Teapot (c. early 1990s, Red Clay, 80ml)
This classic Shuiping (水平壺) teapot comes from the early 1990s, crafted by the renowned Yixing Zisha Factory No.1. It is preserved in pristine condition and includes the original white factory box and the iconic "Fang Yuan (方圓牌)" label, a collector's mark of authenticity and quality from the export-focused era of Yixing ware.
Made from dense red clay (hongni) with a single-hole spout and a precise 80ml volume, this piece is ideal for solo or duo tea sessions. The clay's balanced porosity enhances aromatic teas like Tieguanyin, Dancong, and high-fired oolongs by amplifying their fragrance, while also bringing out layered depth in red teas, white teas, or even shou puer.
Its compact, balanced form is a textbook example of the Shuiping shape, beloved for its elegant proportions and smooth pour. A perfect introduction to vintage Yixing teapots, and a delight to season over time.
