The origin of Yixing purple clay pots can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty, but its heyday began during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. The unique purple clay material 本山料 (Benshan material) in the Huanglongshan mining area was formed through geological deposition and groundwater infiltration, forming "five-color soil" rich in iron, silicon, and mica, known as "mud among muds".

Zhou Gaoqi, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, recorded in 阳羡茗壶系 "Yangxian Teapot Series" that "a pot weighs less than a few taels, and the price is one or two dozen gold, which can make the soil compete with gold", highlighting its early artistic value and economic status. In the Qing Dynasty, purple clay pots were exported to Europe along the Maritime Silk Road and became a carrier of cultural exchanges between the East and the West.

Craftsmanship: The transformation from mineral soil to art

Fully hand-made

Using the "beating and inlaying method", craftsmen use wooden tools to beat mud pieces by hand to shape the pot body, spout and lid, ensuring that the lid is so tight that "there is no worry of the hat falling off when pouring tea".

Decorative art

Literati pot: Since Chen Mansheng in the Ming Dynasty, literati have participated in the design and inscribed poems, calligraphy and paintings, forming the literati pot tradition of "poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal".

Decorative techniques: covering more than a dozen techniques such as pottery carving, mud painting, twisted mud, and hollow carving. For example, Lu Yaochen's twisted mud technique is known as the "magic of mud".

Firing science

The firing temperature range of the mountain material is wide (1100-1400℃), and it can present hundreds of colors such as red, purple, blue, and ink through regulation, while the outer mountain material needs to rely on chemical additives and has a single color.

Cultural value: the symphony of tea ceremony and humanities


Container of the spirit of literati
The handle pot (Dongpo pot) designed by Su Dongpo and the bamboo-carved pot by Zheng Banqiao sublimate the tea ceremony into a philosophical practice, reflecting the oriental aesthetics of "the vessel carries the way".

How to maintain the pot
After long-term use, the oil of the tea soup penetrates the wall of the pot to form a "patina", which is as luster and warm as jade. "Yangxian Teapot Series" said that "cleaning and wiping are increasing day by day, and the dark light is spontaneously emitted". The process of maintaining the pot is regarded as a ritual of self-cultivation.

International influence
The British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York both have collections of Ming and Qing purple clay treasures, and contemporary works have entered the digital art market through blockchain certification.
