【Dao Ba Xi Shi】 Yan Huang Da Di Art Fat Boss Long Shan Tang Traditional Handmade Xiao Mei Kiln Old Zhu Ni

【Local Taiwanese Vendor with Full After-Sales Support】 【Xiao Mei Kiln Old Zhu Ni】 Aged clay, aged for 30 years, meticulously crafted using ancient methods, unpolished rim. Fired at 1160°C with a 20% shrinkage rate. The term "Xiao Mei Kiln" refers to a place name approximately 5000 meters from Huanglong Mountain, not that the pots are fired in a small coal kiln. Historically, this area had several small kilns for firing bricks, tiles, and pottery, leading to the place being colloquially known as "Xiao Mei Kiln." Zhu Ni clay from Xiao Mei Kiln is rich in oiliness and has a smooth texture, making it highly adhesive and challenging to work with and fire. It experiences significant shrinkage during forming, drying, and firing, and is fired at lower temperatures, making it prone to warping, deformation, and cracking. After firing, the pieces transform from orange-red to dark red, appearing warm, lustrous, and producing excellent tea liquor. When hot water is poured over it, it instantly reveals a delicate red hue, exuding a mysterious charm. Brewing tea with this clay enhances the tea's brightness and liveliness, unfolding its aroma and concentrating its sweetness. With prolonged use, the color deepens to a rosy red, becoming warm, profound, and exceptionally inviting. 【Frequently Asked Questions】 1.
