There's something about pots made by someone with real skill. Even simple shapes have a strength and glow that makes pots come alive in a way that those made by less experienced potters fail to do.
These pots were fully handmade, in the shape of an antique pot from Ming Dynasty that we loved. This clay is really excellent for puerh, yancha and liubao. It strikes a nice balance of rounding out the mouthfeel, while still allowing the higher notes to shine. Inside is a single hole filter. The lid fit is perfect and the pour is relatively fast.
We commissioned two of these. We have provided EDXRF test reports of this clay showing no additives.
