During firing, temperature variations create gradient grayish-blue tones resembling post-rain skies - hence its poetic name. Teaware made from this clay better preserves tea's original fragrance.

Traditional purple clay teapot-making techniques were strictly followed. Artisans beat clay with wooden mallets into uniform slabs, cut circular bases with wheel tools, and hand-shaped the body using "da shen tong" technique. Separately crafted spout and handle were attached with special clay mortar. The most challenging rose carving required bamboo tools to etch three-dimensional patterns on unfired clay without compromising structural integrity.
