All accessories related to tea can be called tea sets. The choice of tea sets needs to follow four principles of "practical, simple, clean and elegant", the most important one of which is "practical". Today, Tongxinshe Teahouse recommends a 9999 sterling silver "Siting Mini" sterling silver teapot with a capacity of only 70ml. The charm of the mini silver teapot is that it is light and portable, without losing the charm of a large-capacity silver teapot. Play and have fun.
This teapot comes from the "Hongji Treasure Collection", a century-old pot-making family. The "Hongji Treasure Collection" located in Heqing, Yunnan, began in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. The silver pot produced by Treasure Treasure is a rare treasure that can be used and stored. The pot is made of 9999 sterling silver and has been hammered for thousands of times.
The production of a silver pot needs to go through nearly 100 processes such as material sampling, silver pressing, silver cutting, pot body, pot spout, pot tire repair, chisel engraving, grinding and polishing, etc. Fire to ensure that the weight is balanced and the hammer pattern is consistent. The success or failure of each step will affect the quality of the silver pot. The silver ingot is melted and poured out, and the silver material is gradually pressed into a silver plate with a tablet machine. The thickness and purity of the silver plate directly affect the silver pot. The quality of the precious silver pot is 1~1.2mm thick.
Although it increases the cost and difficulty in production, it can support any process, and the effect of the pot body is fuller and thicker.
After the body of a beating pot is formed, tap the body with a small smooth hammer to improve the shape of the pot, and beat it continuously to make the body of the pot round and beautiful. The body of the kettle needs to be heated for each beating and beating before it is annealed and cooled. This process is repeated and perfected repeatedly. This step is very long and requires hundreds of thousands of forging times with different types of hammers, which requires sufficient patience and aesthetics. The pot is the most difficult practical object to master in silverware. In addition to the basic skills, the craftsman's understanding of the pot itself is particularly important. After heating and annealing the silver piece of the hammer head of the pot body, it starts from the outer edge of the silver plate, and is repeatedly hammered from the outside to the inside, and gradually hammered into the required shape of the pot body. This process may seem simple, but it is actually the most exquisite craftsmanship. The strength and rhythm of the hammering, the uniformity and balance of the shape of the pot body are all completed in the sound of jingle. A little carelessness is likely to hammer cracks, the body of the pot is not correct, etc.
