【Excellent Condition】Early 1990s Yixing Zisha Teapot, Zhu Ni "Nantai Supervision" Complete Set, Ideal for Tea Pet Cultivation
Product Details
This is a masterpiece Yixing Zisha teapot, directly purchased in Taiwan 33 years ago (around 1991).
I have cherished and collected it for many years, and now I am listing it for sale to someone who loves Chinese tea.
■ Nantai Supervision - A Mark of Historical Value and Trust
The seal at the bottom bears the inscription Nantai Supervision, a testament to the quality control by a renowned Hong Kong brand during the golden age of Zisha teapots in the 80s and 90s. The lid also has a Nantai seal, indicating a matching lid that guarantees consistent quality from that era. Nantai brand teapots from this period are known for their high-quality Zhu Ni (red clay) and are often crafted by skilled artisans comparable to those at the Yixing Zisha Factory No. 1.
■ Exquisite Design: A Perfectly Balanced Handle
What stands out is the exceptional balance of the handle. Its design, thick and strong at the top and gracefully tapering downwards, stabilizes the teapot's center of gravity when filled with hot water, fitting surprisingly well in the hand. Please experience the practical beauty born from the artisan's skill, calculated even for the ease of placing a single finger.
■ Internal Structure and Condition
Strainer: The interior features a multi-hole (mesh ball hole) design that prevents tea leaves from clogging, allowing for smooth pouring even with fine tea leaves like Oolong.
Condition: There are no chips, cracks, or noticeable stains. It is in a miraculously perfect condition, unbelievable for an item over 30 years old.

The moist texture, unique to the high-quality raw ore (clay) from 33 years ago, will develop a unique patina and deep luster with use (Yang Hu - teapot nurturing). This is perfect for those who want to enjoy authentic Chinese and Taiwanese tea, or for collectors who appreciate the value of old Yixing Zisha teapots.
It will be carefully packed and delivered.
(It has been stored on a glass shelf for approximately 33 years. Although unused, please understand that there may be faint signs of age. It has survived the Noto earthquake and I believe it is an auspicious vessel with strong luck. Please consider it.)
