[Xishi] Yan Huang Da Di Art - Boss Fatty - Longshan Hall - Traditional Handmade Pure Stone Red 195cc

[Local Taiwanese Seller with Full After-Sales Support] [Each Piece Comes with a Certificate] [Pure Stone Red] Originating from natural minerals formed within the tender mud layers of the Zhaozhuang Zi Sha mine, this material is a symbiotic ore akin to "Stone Yellow." Its formation environment is typically found in clay, shale, and muddy rocks rich in pyrite. Through prolonged geological processes, it gradually takes on nodular forms such as eggs, cylinders, or grape clusters. Stone Red boasts an extremely high iron content, lending it a remarkable ability to soften water. Its mineral color leans towards purplish-red and dark red, which, after high-temperature firing, presents a stable, ancient, and profound texture of iron-black and deep red. Due to its high sand content and low plasticity, crafting pottery with Pure Stone Red is exceptionally challenging, making it all the more precious. Once fired, its texture is restrained, and its color is deep. Its luster and patina, especially after seasoning, are particularly captivating, exuding a rich antique aura and mineral vitality. Historically regarded as a rare and exquisite choice among Zi Sha clay materials. Recommended for heavily roasted or heavily fermented tea varieties. [Origin of the Form] Originally named "Xishi's Breast," it was first created by the master Xu Youquan of the Ming Dynasty. The inspiration stemmed from Xi Shi, the foremost of China's Four Great Beauties. Later, scholars found the name too direct and elegantly refined it to "Xishi Pot." Its form meticulously imitates the voluptuous and rounded physique of a woman, embodying the quintessential feminine grace among Zi Sha teapots. [Frequently Asked Questions QA] 1.
