Phoenix-headed Yixing Zisha Ewer with Feather Pattern, bearing the seal mark of Chen Mingyuan on the base. It represents an excellent biomorphic purple clay artwork from Yixing. The vessel takes the mythical phoenix as its creative theme. The spout is finely sculpted into a lifelike phoenix head. The lid finial features interwoven twin phoenixes, delicate and vivid. Vertical embossed feather patterns run across the body simulating the texture of phoenix wing plumage with smooth, graceful lines. The handle is modelled after phoenix tail feathers, forming a perfect visual echo with the phoenix-head spout. It stands on a tall flared foot decorated with curled feather motifs. The slender silhouette resembles a divine phoenix resting with folded wings, embodying refined and dignified charm. The teapot is carefully fired from native Duan clay, presenting a mild pale yellow hue with naturally exposed sandy grains. Known as "Master of Zisha", Chen Mingyuan excelled at biomorphic sculptural wares. This piece combines the elegant silhouette of rounded teapots and the intricate carving of floral-shaped vessels. The integrated design and naturalistic craftsmanship grant it both practical function as tea utensil and outstanding ornamental value. It is a precious collectible among phoenix-themed Zisha artworks.
