Established in 1958, the Yixing Zisha Craft Factory, commonly known as "Factory One," was created to meet the growing overseas demand for purple clay teapots. The factory's primary goal was to mass-produce teapots using standardized materials, craftsmanship, and aesthetics. While the early mass-produced teapots may not have featured intricate decorations, they were made from locally mined, authentic Yixing purple clay.
Starting in the 1980s, economic growth in neighboring regions such as Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan drove the demand for Yixing Zisha teapots to an all-time high. A significant number of teapots were sold to these areas during this period.
This particular teapot is one of them, likely produced in the late 1980s and sold to Taiwan. It has never been used, only rinsed during quality checks, making it an excellent choice for anyone interested in nurturing a teapot from scratch.
