We commissioned these pots recently, made from a batch of pure Di Cao QIng clay from Yixing's Huanglongshan. In the early 2000's this clay was collected from the mine by a local who specialises in small batches of clay. The clay has been ground and processed without any additives.
The shape is modelled on a Qing Dynasty pot, and inside is a ball mesh style clay filter. The workmanship is really nice, very refined and elegant. We decided to have these pots half-handmade and to order in quantity, to allow for a price that is more accessible for all, but still with excellent clay and workmanship.
Please note: These are the second batch we made of this shape, with slightly higher firing and a mesh filter inside instead of the single hole filter we had in the first batch. The photos have been updated to reflect this.
