Xishi teapot was invented in the late Ming Dynasty about 400 years ago. It was used to be called Xishi' s breast teapot. (Xishi is the name of  a legendary ancient beauty.)  It is said being  made after a woman's breast. Later, people thought it was vulgar to call a teapot somebody's breast. Hence it got its present name.
Xishi teapot is the one of the most traditional  zisha teapots.
The maker Shi Xiao was born into a teapot maker's family. His family runs a studio and shop in Yixing.
Yixing zisha pottery emerged in Song Dynasty, consummated in Ming and Qing dynasty. In Yuan Dynasty, technology for making zisha teapot
became mature, and people began to carve on them.
In the mid of the Ming Dynasty, zisha teapot were very popular, and considered the most
suitable for Chinese tea. In Qing Dynasty, more decorations such as calligraphy and paintings were
contrived on teapot, which made them
exquisite pieces of art.
The zisha (purple clay) is not necessarily purple all the time. There are three basic colors red, purple and millet yellow of the clay, but the color
of the finished product varies to the temperature
when fired in the kiln.
People treasure zisha teapot because of its unique feature of being able to enhance the flavor of tea, and keep the tea fresh even in hottest
summer. Modern scientific studies find that the unique
f
eature of the zisha teapot comes from the double porous structure it maintains, which
makes the teapot able to breathe. The longer it is used, the sheen over the pot will appear more apparent
and lively.
It is treasured not only because of its unique feature in daily use, but also because of its artistry in its shape, calligraphy and paintings carved on it.
