This is a small batch of clay we found recently - we've been on the hunt for batches of clay similar to those found in antique pots. Tuanni and duanni are sometimes used interchangeably, describing a natural amalgamation of clays. In this instance, we've used Tuanni to describe this old clay, naturally containing red, brown, dark yellow particles with black iron spots erupting during firing (known as TieRong). This ore was mined in Yiging's Huanglongshan area and has been hand-sorted and stone ground.
This was completely handmade and woodfired. Inside is a single hole filter.
This is a lovely clay, and well suited for this antique JuLunZhu shape.
We have also tested this clay and attach the EDXRF report showing no additives.
"This clay turned out to be unusual when fired on firewood. The color and texture change depending on the lighting. Indoors, it becomes darker and acquires a chocolate hue, while in the sun it acquires lighter tones and grain. When working with tea, I liked how young and medium-ripened puer and yancha are revealed. It didn't work out a bit with Shu. This is quite an interesting variety for the collection."
