The flavor of a cup of tea is highly influenced by the teapot in which it was brewed. Possibly the most famous example of [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour sale[/url] Chinese pottery would have to be the Yi Xing teapot. High quality zisha [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]barbour uk outlet[/url] clay which is produced around the administrative area of Yi Xing in Dingshan, is what makes the finest teapots. The craftsmanship of the potters is another reason for its high value.
The Maker Of The First Yixing Teapot
In [url=http://www.gotprintsigns.com/hollisterpascher/‎]hollister pas cher[/url] the days of the Ming Dynasty, [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/moncler.php]moncler outlet[/url] a Confucian classics scholar named Wu Yishan from Yi Xing and his young domestic [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm[/url] named Gong Chun stayed at a nearby Buddhist temple in Jinsha for the scholar to prepare for the palace examination. There was a monk who resided in the [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/peuterey.php]peuterey[/url] temple and was very good at creating teapots, which fascinated Gong [url=http://www.gotprintsigns.com/monclerpascher/]moncler[/url] Chun. He intently observed the monk as he created the teapots and even gathered the remaining clay to form his own. Gong Chun was able to develop his own design which is so unique that has inspired potters until today. The most famous form would be in the shape of a tree knob. The oldest existing teapot from Yi Xing is displayed at the National [url=http://www.gotprintsigns.com/hollisterpascher/‎]hollister paris[/url] Museum of China and is attributed to have been created by Gong Chun.
The best types of Chinese teapot are made out of Zisha clay, which is quite rare. Teapots made of it are of very high quality and can retain heat, minimize oxidization and boost the richness of the tea stored within it.
The only way to manipulate real Zisha clay is through casting and molding through half brand building and hand building. The cast Zisha teapot has a more fine texture and a wall that is much thinner compared to the molded kind. Nowadays, handmade Yi Xing [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]jordan pas cher[/url] teapots are still done in the traditional coiling technique.
Authentic Chinese Teapot Versus The Fakes
The creation of fake [url=http://www.mansmanifesto.fr]doudoune moncler homme[/url] Chinese pottery is deeply embedded in the history of Chinese culture, and the skill of telling the difference between authentic and [url=http://www.gotprintsigns.com/monclerpascher/]moncler pas cher[/url] fake is an art form of sorts. The rarity of Zisha clay makes its high quality type priced at 20,000 Yuan or 3,000 US Dollars per half a kilogram.
Authentic Yi Xing teapots are usually bought within China by local collectors and so it is usual to [url=http://www.mquin.com/giuseppezanotti.php]giuseppe zanotti sneakers[/url] expect that an authentic piece can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars if sold outside. There are three grades of Yixing wares. The first is used for special gifts within the diplomatic core, the second are artifacts made by artists who have finished their decade or longer apprenticeships and the third are the mass produced commercial grade pots.
