紫泥 西施 紫砂壶 实力派匠人 徐坤鹏 手作 Yixing Zisha teapot handmade by Studio Craftsmanship ZI NI Xi Shi Shape

器型：西施 （Half Handmade 半手工）

泥料：紫泥

容量：200ml  

倒把西施原名叫文旦壶，文旦壶中的格调高雅者。其灵感来源于西施，完整的称呼应该是"西施乳壶"，简称"西施"或"西施乳"，言壶之形若美女西施之丰乳，确实此壶象丰满的乳房，壶纽象乳头，流短而略粗，把为倒耳之形，盖采用截盖式，壶底近底处内收，一捺底，后人觉"西施乳"不雅，改称"倒把西施壶"。

壶嘴便是西施的口，壶的身体则刚好是壶的盛水部位，把手便是纤细的腰姿。这个壶型在紫砂壶的史料中是有明文记载的，而且，最早做这个壶型的，是徐友泉大师。

首创者徐友泉，明末清初吴梅鼎给了徐友泉极高的评价，称"若夫综古今而合度，极变化以从心，技而近乎道者，其友泉徐子乎。"吴梅鼎之所以为世人所识，实在是因为写了一篇千五百字的《阳羡茗壶赋》。吴氏曾祖是明正德进士吴颐山，正德进士何许人也，不太清楚，只是他的家童名声太盛，叫"供春"。吴颐山少时在宜兴金沙寺读书，家童供春服侍少主的同时，据说偷学了寺僧制壶，不经意间，成了紫砂壶史上的鼻祖。然后经历了赵梁、董翰、元畅、时朋"四大名家"，然后是时鹏之子时大彬一家独大，时大彬有一高足，就是徐友泉了。而吴梅鼎的父亲和徐友泉交好，并请其到家中研制紫砂壶，成就了一段佳话。吴梅鼎更是耳濡目染，友泉晚年自叹"吾之精，终不如时之粗"时，他不知道，紫砂史册上，已经有了他浓重的一笔。

 西施，石瓢，仿古，这三款是现代壶友的必备经典款式。

Xi-shi teapot, one of the essential "Three Musketeers" for teapot enthusiasts, is named after the renowned beauty Xi-shi. The teapot's form resembles the voluptuous figure of the beauty, with the knob resembling a nipple, short and slightly robust spout, and a handle that curves gracefully. The lid is crafted in a truncated style, and the bottom of the pot curves inward near the base, creating a distinctive shape. The spout represents Xi-shi's mouth, and the body of the teapot perfectly corresponds to the vessel's water-holding section, with the handle resembling a slender waist. In later times, the term "Xi-shi breast" was deemed inappropriate and replaced with "Inverted Xi-shi Teapot."

 The enduring popularity of the Xi-shi teapot is rooted in historical records of this specific teapot shape in Yixing clay history.

The Xi-shi teapot presented here is crafted from original Xiao Mei Yao Zhu Ni clay. Resembling a charming young lady, this teapot captivates with its petite form, reminiscent of a seductive and full-bodied figure. The rounded and elegant body mirrors the curves of a plump woman. Adorned with a beaded knob, the short and cute spout, and the graceful inverted handle give the appearance of a sophisticated hairstyle, adding maturity and elegance. This teapot is not only practical but also a delight to appreciate, offering both utility and aesthetic value.
