The history of purple clay teapots

The founder of the purple clay teapot was the Zhengde-Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (for spring). "Yu Congzu, Quan Shigong, was studying in Nanshan, and he brought a boy's name to offer spring offerings. He saw that the natives used clay as a vat, and then clarified the mud to make a pot. It is very ancient and cute, so it is called a spring offering pot." (Wu Meiding: "Yangxian" "Ode to a Porcelain Pot - Preface") for spring pots, people at that time praised them as "maroon dark, like ancient and modern iron, dunpang and Zhouzheng."

Shi Dabin, Xu Youquan, and Li Zhongfang were also called the three major purple sand pots in the Ming Dynasty after Wanli. "Excellent hand". Shi Dabin's purple clay teapots are elegant and refined in style, with smooth and flexible shapes. Although they do not pursue craftsmanship, they are ingenious, simple, elegant and wonderful.
