How long does it take to make a handmade purple clay teapot?
Purely handmade has advantages that cannot be replaced by ordinary purple clay teapots. Apart from artistic aesthetics, the workmanship is also incomparable to ordinary purple clay teapots. We can see from the production cycle below. How long it takes to make a handmade teapot is completely unimaginable for someone who is not familiar with purple clay teapots. Apart from conception and design, in terms of production alone, making a fully handmade one can take as little as 10 days or as long as several months. An artist who can independently make purple clay teapots needs a long time to master the properties, chemical composition, water absorption rate, breathability, and so on of purple clay clay, which ordinary people cannot understand in a short period of time. After possessing excellent teapot making techniques, it takes about a week to produce a purple clay teapot blank, and then it needs to be fired. It takes at least 10 days for a mature craftsman to create a purple clay teapot, and these 10 days must be fully devoted to the production work, otherwise the time will be even longer. If we take into account the concept and design drawings, as well as the complexity of the teapot shape, it is entirely possible to spend several months making a purple clay teapot. For a master, having 80 works in a year is already considered quite impressive.
