Without any tricks, the art of purple clay teapot is endless, and even experienced teapot enthusiasts may not be able to guarantee 100% identification. But it is suitable for beginners to choose a pot, just observe from a few points. Firstly, touch the pot body. Due to its characteristics, purple clay teapots have a sandy feel on their surface, and inferior teapots have a hand feel similar to glass. Secondly, smell the scent. The reason why chemical pots are called chemical pots is because harmful chemicals are added, which gives the pot a stimulating odor. Pots made from pure purple clay will not have the smell of these chemicals. Thirdly, listen to the sound. The clearer and louder the sound produced by tapping the lid on the pot body, the greater the possibility that it is a low-quality pot. Fourthly, purple clay teapots have breathability. A purple clay teapot can usually dry quickly in the shade. If the water in the teapot does not dry for several days, there is a problem with the teapot. |
