[Humble House Inscription] Longshantang Rare Collection Series Purely Hand-made Dongshi Shallow Carving Wenge Old Purple Clay

【Complete after-sales service at local stores in Taiwan】 【Cultural Revolution Old Purple Clay】 This finished clay has been stored for nearly forty years. The clay is calm and mature, and small black spots can be seen on the body of the pot. This is due to the natural iron content in the purple clay ore, which is a normal phenomenon of the ore. If you see larger black spots, it is the iron that has been released after years of decomposition by humic acid, forming a halo-like mark that is round and blurred, revealing the breath of the old mud. Occasionally, black marks or a glossy feel can be seen at the joints, which is the "glaze sealing" phenomenon. It can only be naturally generated when the clay is stored for a long enough time. It cannot be achieved artificially and is highly recognizable as old clay and has great craftsmanship value. After firing, the color is dark purple with brown, simple and restrained. It looks a bit rough at first glance, but with long-term use, it gradually reveals a warm luster, and its cultivation changes greatly, and its temperament is solemn and elegant. The old purple clay from the Cultural Revolution has an excellent ability to analyze tea soup, with distinct layers of fragrance, sweetness and taste. The tea soup becomes warmer and smoother. If you encounter good tea, it can even show its underlying tension. The color of the teapot you see when caring for it changes greatly, from dark to moist. With time and care, the beauty of its simplicity will emerge. It can be regarded as one of the representative clay materials in the purple clay series that combines the beauty of clay and practical value. It is an excellent choice for both tea lovers and collectors. 【Sculptor・Dongshi】 "Dongshi" is a person whose name is hidden from the world, but whose art is perfected in his heart. Mr. Ding is a rare and powerful seal engraver among the local clans. In his early years, he worked in the judicial system as a prosecutor.

He started learning calligraphy at a young age and never stopped practicing. He specialized in Ouyang Xun's regular script. His brushwork was dignified and his style was upright. Over the years, he developed his own style. His carvings are based on regular script, with a strong aura, and the characters are not delicate, but strong and powerful.
