Message Hi Bilal The Chinese consider true Zisha teapots to be 'Living' pieces! Simply put a teapot is said to be able to produce perfect tea without leaves such is the concentration of tea absorbed by the 'pot' over many years service! Teapots are also 'polished' after use which adds to the overall patina which cannot be faked. Finally, on close inspection Zisha clay is full of shiny silica inclusions and as a general rule the more inclusions the earlier the pot! Gary Post a Response |
