Core Craftsmanship Principle
The product uses Yixing’s unique zisha clay (purple clay, red clay, and mottled clay). This clay naturally contains quartz, mica, hematite, and other substances, inherently possessing a dual-pore structure. The vessel is crafted using traditional hand-beating forming techniques, with no glaze applied to the surface. It then undergoes bisque firing at high temperatures of 1050–1150℃. After firing, the pot develops uniform, fine pores, achieving a physical property of being breathable yet impermeable to water—this is also the core craftsmanship highlight that distinguishes zisha teaware from glass or porcelain teaware.
