Li Shenfang

Qing Dynasty

Biography

Li Shenfang was a Yixing pottery artisan active during the Qing Dynasty, specifically during the Qianlong period (1736-1795). Based on the limited available information, he was a craftsman working in the Yixing tradition of creating zisha (purple clay) teaware.

The historical record provides minimal details about Li Shenfang's life and work, suggesting he may have been among the many skilled artisans whose contributions to Yixing pottery were significant but not extensively documented in surviving texts. His active period during the Qianlong era places him within one of the most prosperous periods for Chinese ceramics and teaware production.
