【Ling Hua Si Fang】Yan Huang Da Di Art, Boss Pang, Longshan Hall, Traditional Handmade, Tian Qing Clay, 265cc

【Local Taiwanese Shop with Comprehensive After-Sales Support】 【Each Piece Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity】 【Tian Qing 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 mud cracking. This process lowers the firing temperature of the clay. The text in "Yang Xian Ming Hu Xi" (A Collection of Famous Teapots from Yang County) describes Tian Qing Clay: "Tian Qing Clay, originating from Lishu (a place name east of Huanglong Mountain in Dingshu Town), turns a liver-like dark color when fired. It also contains inclusions. Infused with the spirit of the mountain, through firing and transformation, it reveals various wondrous colors. Our Longshan Hall has fired this clay three times in a muffle kiln. The resulting color presents as a deep, liver-like hue. Within the muffle kiln, the circulation of flames, heat convection, and exhaust create localized micro-oxidation and micro-reduction. This allows the clay to undergo more transformations during the firing process. The final color will be lighter, retaining more distinct granular texture. These granules, not fully crystallized at high temperatures, develop richer layers on the surface. When light hits them, it scatters, creating a sense of depth. While initially less lustrous than pieces fired in electric kilns, with a surface that appears dry and understated, its retention of more micro-pores and granules makes it exceptionally adept at absorbing tea liquor during use. The components of the tea will gradually seep in and deposit, forming a soft, mellow patina that speaks of age and care. The luster is a gentle, diffuse reflection, possessing a texture that deepens with time. 【Frequently Asked Questions QA】 1. How to prepare the teapot before first use? Clean the interior and exterior thoroughly. A dish sponge is recommended; avoid chemical cleaners. Simply rinse with water, and it is ready for use. 2. How to care for the teapot? After each use, keep it clean and dry to prevent tea stains. Store it in a well-ventilated area. For long-term storage in its box, allow it to air dry naturally for 1-2 months to ensure complete moisture evaporation from the pores, preventing mold. 3. How to clean tea stains or mold? Soak with an enzyme-based cleaner. 4. How to properly warm the teapot? In cold weather, or after a long period of disuse, pour 40°C warm water over the interior and exterior of the teapot, then fill it completely. This allows the porous clay to fully absorb moisture. 5. How to maintain pieces with engravings? For teapots with engraved designs, a soft brush is recommended for cleaning. 6. What if the item arrives damaged during shipping?
