Taiwanese scholar Lian Heng once summarized in "Ya Tang Collection" that "tea must be Wuyi, pots must be Mengchen, and cups must be Ruochen", so it can be seen that Mengchen pots have a high status among purple clay pots.
Today, Tongxinshe Teahouse recommends a pure handmade ancient raw sand Zhu ni pear-shaped teapot by teacher Ye Xiangkun, pure gold decoration/Li Xing capacity: 120cc, vermilion with orange light, good air permeability, Tongxinshe Teahouse has only one collection.
Many times, the purple clay teapots we see are inlaid with gold, which is likely because the teapot itself has defects, but this teapot is not the case. Tongxinshe Teahouse is a teapot lover who knows that the spout of a purple clay teapot is a place that is more likely to be bumped during use, and these two purple clay teapots are teapots of relatively high value. In order to prevent such problems from occurring during use, the spout, handle, lid, and button of the teapot are inlaid with pure gold to cover the golden mouth. Not only that, the red color of the raw sand Zhu ni and the pure gold complement each other, and also add a finishing touch to the overall effect. The teapot made of this clay material is used to brew rock tea, Tieguanyin, Pu'er tea, etc. The color, aroma and taste of the tea soup are better than other purple clay products.
The Ming and Qing Zhuni teapot style has always been loved by countless tea lovers, one for its shape, and the other for its taste. The works are selected from the top-grade raw sand Zhu ni, which is refined and ancient pear-shaped, elegant and warm, flat but not collapsed, shallow and wide. The lines are full and plump, and the spout and handle are delicate and beautiful, just like the delicate hands of a beautiful woman.
Ye Xiangkun: Born in Yixing, Jiangsu in 1965, he is an older generation of purple clay craftsman who cooperated with Taiwanese tea and pot merchants earlier. It was also because of the early work of undertaking the work of matching lids for old pots required by Taiwanese collectors that Mr. Ye got his hands on an astonishing number of ancient pots. Through copying and studying ancient pots, Mr. Ye's Zhuni small pieces are quite charming in the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. The pot-making techniques are also strictly in accordance with the ancient methods. Mr. Ye makes pots very casually. He does not keep the size of each pot he makes, and the tools he uses are also extremely rare.
