【Local Taiwan Seller with Full After-Sales Support】 【Certificate Included with Every Piece】 【Huanglongshan Bottom Layer Green Clay】 Sourced from the deep wells of Huanglongshan, this is authentic Yixing purple clay ore. Deep well bottom layer green clay is found at the lowest stratum of the mine. The raw ore is a purplish clay containing particles of Duan Clay, forming shallow, green, eye-like patches. These "eyes" are typically paired, densely and evenly distributed. Within the 塊状，there are greenish "chicken eyes" and "cat eyes," indicating purplish clay mixed with Duan Clay particles. Due to the rich natural iron oxides present in the bottom layer green clay, its color leans towards purplish with a greenish undertone. The fired color is highly dependent on the mineral composition and firing temperature. The clay body exhibits fine, golden granules, like scattered specks. The color is a rare purplish hue with a greenish tint and possesses a delicate texture. After firing, it transforms into a purplish-red color with a broad firing range. Commonly seen market-grade liver-colored clay is fired around 1200°C. It is hard, fine, and lustrous, with a shrinkage rate of approximately 10%. 【Frequently Asked Questions QA】 1.
