[Standard Horizontal] Yan Huang Da Di Art, Fat Boss, Long Shan Tang, Traditional Handmade, Pure Stone Red, 165cc

[Local Taiwan Seller with Full After-Sales Support] [Each Piece Comes with a Certificate] [Pure Stone Red] Sourced from natural ore formations within the fine clay strata of Zhaozhuang, this material shares its origin with "Stone Yellow," being a co-existing mineral. Its formation environment is typically found within clay, shale, and mudstone rich in pyrite. Through prolonged geological processes, it gradually forms nodular masses shaped like eggs, cylinders, or grapes. Stone Red is exceptionally rich in iron content, giving it a powerful ability to soften water. Its mineral color ranges from purplish-red to dark red. After high-temperature firing, it exhibits a stable, ancient, and profound texture of iron-black and deep red. Due to its high sand content and low plasticity, crafting ceramics with pure Stone Red is exceedingly difficult, making it all the more precious. Once fired, its texture is restrained, and its color is deep. When seasoned through use, its luster and patina become particularly captivating, exuding a rich, aged character and mineralistic charm. Historically, it has been regarded as a rare and prized selection among Zisha clay materials. Recommended for heavily roasted or heavily fermented tea types. [On the Origin of the Form] Originating from the Gongfu tea culture of the Guangdong and Fujian regions, this form is the soul of the Gongfu tea ceremony, embodying a perfect union of practicality and aesthetic form. Emphasizing "level horizontals and perpendicular verticals, with balanced proportions," it is one of the Zisha teapot forms that most demands fundamental craftsmanship.
