When traveling in Wuxi the other day, the guide took us to Yuan Shuai Zisha Pot Expo Hall and bought a teapot. I bought a Shui Piao and asked an expert to identify it.

This is just an ordinary teapot. You have to have a professional kettle and tea set. Different teas need different tea sets. There are many teapots in the market, which make people see things in a blur and feel at a loss. Write some personal methods when choosing teapot for your reference. Remember, the feeling of a teapot is cultivated, and it is often more confusing than an eye-catching pot.

1, don't look at the bright color of the pot! The basic, colorful and bright colors in nature are all warning colors.

2, don't look at your hands without weight! Real teapot weight. (False materials, of course, some thin tire pots are lighter, but I generally prefer manslaughter! The main reason is that the thin tire pot should be used very carefully and easily damaged)

Don't look at that strange green pot! (Green, verdigris and very red are all chemicals. )

4. Be careful of the water color on the surface of the pot! If it is a pot that has not been soaked, the water color is very beautiful. Try not to use this pot!

In one case, the mud is fine mud. The surface of the pot is a thick layer of mud, and the particles in the pot are wrapped in a layer of mud on the surface, and even no particles can be seen at all. This kind of "clay pot" is unnecessary, because the air permeability is greatly reduced and the taste of purple sand is lost. The teapot should pay attention to the sense of "sand".

In the second case, the mud contains chemical substances, and "Mang powder" is added during mud refining to make the water color of the pot beautiful and uniform.

5, look at the pot raw ore particles to be clear. Some pots containing chemicals are covered with particles, and the particles can't be seen clearly (it takes a magnifying glass of 20-30 times to see clearly).

6. The raw ore pot has impurities, and there are many impurities. These impurities are not just iron. These impurities usually appear in the form of black particles and are unevenly distributed on the surface of the pot, so many real raw ore pots are ugly after coming out of the kiln, and pots that look too clean and uniform need to be careful.

7. The teapot must be grainy, and the raw ore pot particles are relatively clear and clean. The particle distribution of raw ore seems uneven and natural, which is different from sand adjustment. Generally, sand particles "float" on the pot surface, or penetrate inside and outside, but the characteristics of the particles are relatively uniform distribution, which makes people feel manipulated. The raw ore particles are more "harmonious" in the mud, and the sand particles are more "stiff".

8. Knock on the pot and listen to the sound. The sound of the teapot should be that kind of "stuffy" clay pot sound. Knock porcelain without touching the pot. Listening to the sound is to identify the firing temperature of the pot. The sound of "Tintin" is the sound of the porcelain of the pot, usually a slurry pot or a fake pot (chemical material).

9. Permeability is not a sufficient condition for testing raw ore teapots, and some chemical pots are also breathable.

The price of real teapot on the market ranges from 200,000 to 300,000.

Gu Jingzhou, the leading teapot in contemporary times, is the most expensive, and pots from Zhu Kexin, He Daohong, Jiang Rong, Tan Quanhai, Jiang Rong, Wang Yinxian, Xu Xiutang, Bao Zhiqiang, Zhou Guizhen, Li Changhong and Gu Shaopei are also very valuable.
