Trash bin identification
1, the color of the pot is red, which is extremely bright.
2. The sound made when knocking on the lid and body of the pot is particularly crisp and loud.
3, the pot feels particularly smooth and delicate, shiny.
The color of the pot is red and very bright. This is because non-legal pot makers use inferior sand mud in the production process, and inferior sand mud often presents uneven color in the refining process. In order to cover up this unevenness, they added various chemical additives to the inferior sand mud, so that the finally made pot would look particularly bright and beautiful.
Second, listen to the sound. When peddling teapot, some vendors often tap the pot body with the lid and make a crisp sound to prove the quality of teapot. This way of listening to sounds is complete nonsense. The louder the sound, the greater the possibility that the teapot is a "garbage pot". Thirdly, when you touch the pot body with your hand, you will find that the "garbage pot" feels very delicate and smooth, and sometimes it emits bright light. This is because this kind of pot is often mechanically polished during processing, and even some profiteers smear cooking oil or shoe polish on the pot body to deceive consumers.
Five characteristics of authentic Yixing teapot
The longer the purple sand ware is used, the brighter it will be, because the tea itself can also carry the pot when brewing.
Purple sand ware has good cold and hot mutation, which can be burned on fire or used in microwave oven without bursting.
Slow heat transfer, heat preservation, no hot feeling when using.
The green body can absorb the aroma of tea, and the teapot that often makes tea occasionally does not put tea, and its water also has the aroma of tea.
The mud color of the teapot is related to the tea that is often brewed. When soaking black tea, the teapot will change from reddish brown to reddish brown, and when soaking green tea, the teapot will change from reddish brown to brown.
Experts remind: avoid buying "price reduction pots"
Zhang, a collection expert, reminds consumers that it is best to have an expert in buying teapot, and it is forbidden to buy a "stall pot" or a "price reduction pot" for twenty or thirty yuan just for the sake of cheapness. Experts pointed out that only teapot with beautiful appearance and good quality has collection value. "At present, there are almost no authentic Yixing teapot below 80 yuan in Beijing."
How to identify teapot
The real teapot is made of purple mud, and the refining process and doped raw materials are very particular. The baked teapot has strong plasticity, good air permeability, can withstand the drastic changes of cold and hot, and will not burst easily, even if it is used as a tea-burning vessel, it will not burst when heated at high temperature on a fire. Moreover, the real teapot is not glazed inside and outside, and it will not have adverse effects on the body when used as a tea set. The long-term use of the teapot itself will warm up and even give off the natural aroma of tea.
The most important thing to buy a teapot is to look at the mud color. The uniqueness of teapot lies in the superiority of making raw material purple clay. To judge a teapot, we must first look at the quality of the mud. Good purple sand mud should have the remarkable characteristics of "not bright in color, not greasy in quality" There are mainly purple mud, green mud and red mud. Due to the different proportions of mud, vermilion purple, chestnut, begonia red and so on can be obtained, so purple sand mud is also called "five-color soil".
Recognition prompt
You can pour water on the pot and observe it carefully. Because of its good air permeability and water permeability, the water on the pot will slowly evaporate until it is absorbed by the pot itself. Once the fake pot is watered, the water will roll down in the form of beads and disappear soon. A dry and high-quality teapot will make a "pattering" sound once it is filled with boiling water.
