This purple clay teapot utilizes rare raw ore "Dahongpao" clay material. Originating from Huanglong Mountain mining area in Yixing, this clay belongs to exceptionally precious zisha resources. After screening and years of aging, the clay develops a delicate and smooth texture. During firing, it gradually transforms into a unique reddish hue resembling the translucent glow of ripe persimmons. This natural color transformation remains one of the most captivating characteristics of Chinese Yixing teapots.
