It emerged at the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty (however, there are clear written records of purple clay tea sets dating back to the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty), and gradually became a unique and famous tea set, popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The origin of the Tiliang Zisha teapot tea set has a beautiful story. It is said that Su Shi, a famous poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, enjoyed drinking tea. When he was giving lectures in Dushan, Yixing, Jiangsu, he specially commissioned someone to make a Tiliang style Zisha teapot designed by himself for the convenience of brewing and drinking tea when going out. Later generations named this type of teapot “Tiliang teapot” or “Dongpo teapot”. This kind of “lifting beam pot” has a beautiful and antique appearance, making it a great ceramic gift. The teapot has always played an important role in Chinese tea culture and tea set families. For example, the teapot placed on the Eight Immortals’ table in ordinary households is basically a teapot. Due to its beautiful and practical appearance, it has entered many ordinary households. The album “Ceramic Teapots with Various Decorative Themes” includes ceramic teapots with various decorative themes. Su Shi once wrote in his poem, ‘Silver bottles pour oil and float ant wine, purple bowls spread with Su Panlong tea,’ which shows his great admiration for purple clay tea sets.
