【Pine Stump Cup 08】 Lung Shan Tang | Fully Handmade Biomorphic Series | No. 4 Deep Well Di Cao Qing | 150cc

【Local Taiwanese Store | Comprehensive After-Sales Service】 【No. 4 Deep Well Di Cao Qing】 Sourced from Huanglong Mountain's No. 4 Deep Well Authentic Yixing Zisha Raw Ore. No. 4 Deep Well Di Cao Qing is located at the bottom of the ore seam. The raw ore is a purple clay ore with Duan Ni particles forming shallow green, eye-like patches. These "eyes" are distributed densely and evenly in pairs. Within the blocky structure, there are greenish "chicken eyes" and "cat eyes," indicating purple clay containing Duan Ni particles. Due to the rich natural iron oxides in No. 4 Deep Well Di Cao Qing, its color leans towards purple with a greenish hue. The final fired color depends on the ore composition and firing temperature. The clay body appears as fine, dense golden-yellow granules, sprinkled throughout. Its color is often purplish with a green undertone, making it quite rare, with a delicate clay texture. After firing, it turns purplish-red. It has a wide firing range. The common "pig liver" color found in the market is typically fired around 1200°C. The texture is firm, fine, and lustrous, with a shrinkage rate of about 10%. 【Frequently Asked Questions QA】 1. How to season the teapot before use? Wash the inside and outside thoroughly.
