【Zi Zhi Shi Piao】Yan Huang Da Di Art, Fatty Boss, Longshan Hall, Traditional Handmade, Tianqing Clay, 175cc

【Local Taiwanese Seller, Comprehensive After-Sales Service】 【Certificate Included with Every Piece】 【Tianqing Clay】 This clay was refined in 2007 and has been aged for 15 years. The clay has undergone organic aging and re-firing to prevent issues with impurity. This process lowers the firing temperature of the clay. The text from "Yang Xian Ming Hu Xi" (A Series of Teapots from Yangxian) describes Tianqing clay: "Tianqing clay, from Lishu (a place name east of Huanglong Mountain in Dingshu Town), turns a dark liver color when fired. It also contains inclusions. Shaped by mountain spirits and transformed through firing, it reveals a variety of wondrous colors. Our Longshan Hall has fired this piece 3 times in a push-plate kiln, resulting in a liver-like hue. Within the push-plate kiln, the circulation of flames, heat convection, and exhaust gases create localized micro-oxidation and micro-reduction. This allows the clay to undergo further transformation during firing. The final color will be lighter, retaining a more pronounced granular texture. These granules have not fully crystallized at high temperatures, resulting in richer surface layers. When light hits them, it scatters, creating a sense of depth. While initially less brilliant than pieces fired in electric kilns, appearing dry and understated on the surface, its ability to absorb tea liquor during the aging process is exceptional due to its retained micropores and granules. The components of tea will gradually penetrate and deposit, forming a soft, mellow patina with a sense of maturation. The luster is a soft, diffuse reflection, possessing a texture that speaks of accumulated time. 【Frequently Asked Questions QA】 1.
