Using silver to decorate Zisha teapots is a new decorative method created in the past twenty years based on traditional Zisha decoration methods such as engraving, painting, and swirling. This technique involves first carving out the desired patterns on the unfired clay body, then embedding the processed silver wires into the slots after firing, and finally smoothing them to form various patterns on the surface of the Zisha teapot.
