It stands for wisdom, brilliance and treasure. The name suits the pot's full, softly rounded body, gathered and complete like a pearl, and it carries a quiet wish for clarity and good fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pear-shaped body is full and low, rising to a stepped, domed lid with a small loop knob. The handle is textured like a natural branch, and a short, gently tapering spout gives a smooth pour. Lively bamboo leaves are incised across one side, signed with the maker's inscription and seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Clay: Zhu Ni\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZhu Ni (along with the broader Hong Ni family) is known for its delicate texture and striking appearance. After firing, it features a beautiful color that ranges from bright orange to deep red. When showered with hot water, the clay beautifully comes alive, quickly flushing to a vibrant, bright red that sometimes exhibits a subtle, wandering purple glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZhu Ni is characterized by its high density and low porosity. Because of this dense structure, the clay does not absorb the tea's fragrance. Instead, it acts to lock in and retain the delicate aromas of the tea leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its exceptional ability to preserve fragrance, Zhu Ni is perfectly suited for highly aromatic teas. We especially recommend it for light oolongs (such as Tieguanyin and Dancong) and Pu'er.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn more about Zhu Ni and other Yixing clays in our \u003ca href=\"\/zh-hant\/blogs\/zisha-teapot-knowledges\/the-soul-of-the-teapot-a-guide-to-zisha-clay-types\"\u003eguide to Zisha clay types\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"隐庐居 Hidden Brews Teahouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46400699498631,"sku":null,"price":249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/4798\/7847\/files\/lht10-DSC09401.jpg?v=1793594263","url":"https:\/\/www.hiddenbrews.com\/zh-hant\/products\/handmade-yixing-zisha-teapot-ling-zhu-160ml-zhu-ni","provider":"隐庐居 Hidden Brews Authentic Yixing Zisha Teapots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
