We made these from a batch of pure Zhuni clay from Yixing's Xiao Mei Yao mine which has been aging for around 10 years.
These pots are very nicely made. We modelled these after a Qing Dynasty teapot that we liked, but would be inaccessible for most tea drinkers. We aimed to make a pot using high quality, pure clay and good workmanship. We're very happy with the results.
These were half-handmade - with the clay pressed into a form to standardise the shape, then finished by hand and fired twice, finishing with a high temperature firing. Inside is a single hole filter.
This clay has been tested with EDXRF testing, showing as pure with no chemical additives as is overwhelmingly common these days.
