Yixing Clay Teapot, Longevity Crane

A black Zisha clay teapot from Yixing, featuring a crane motif, the emblematic bird of longevity. The design is traditional, the style is naive, and one can notice the brush strokes applying the colors of colored clay in small touches. Beautiful craftsmanship following traditional rules. The master's signature is present, which authenticates a careful execution with the noble material that is Yixing clay.

The Yixing clay, named after where it is extracted, is also nicknamed "purple or violet clay," or zicha.

The crane is in Japan as in China the motif of longevity.
