In fact, it's said in the industry that "one point of shaping equals one point of difficulty in forming." To create this teapot, the potter must start with a cylindrical shape and then use a "clay pat" to gently tap and flatten the clay without causing it to collapse. This requires a great deal of skill and precision in manual operation, making it a difficult and time-consuming process. Despite the challenges, the Xubian teapot is highly valued by collectors and tea enthusiasts for its unique and elegant shape, as well as its ability to brew tea with a rich and full flavor.
The design of the "Xubian" zisha teapot is a combination of the elements of the "Xubian" and the "Gongdeng". "Xubian" refers to the flat shape of the body of the pot, while "Gongdeng" refers to the shape of the lid of the pot, which is like a palace lamp. This design not only retains the characteristics of traditional purple clay pots, but also adds some new elements, making the "Biandeng" more ornamental and collectible.
