Many customers often have this question: "Why do you give purple clay pots as gifts?" In order to relieve everyone's doubts, we decided to answer directly, so that everyone can feel more at ease when buying tea and choosing a pot! By the way, it can also dispel all the myths everyone has about purple clay teapots.

 

The price of a purple clay teapot lies in the clay

The purple sand ore comes from Huanglong Mountain, Dingshu Town, Yixing City, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province. Only those from Huanglong Mountain are called Yixing purple sand. Before 2005, the price of raw purple clay ore was around tens of yuan per ton, which meant that hundreds of purple clay pots could be made with just a few dozen yuan. So why do purple clay teapots have the illusion of being “highly priced”?

The reason why old purple mud is more valuable is that after mining, the mud has been cured and matured for a long time, and the mud quality will be more stable than new mud. The reason why old purple mud is more valuable lies in its age. Therefore, the chance of old purple clay being cheap is very slim.

Secondly, the preciousness lies in the imbalance between supply and demand of purple sand clay, and the price has skyrocketed. Since 2005, the Yixing Municipal Government has banned the mining of Huanglongshan ore. A large number of clay craftsmen need to stock up on mud in advance, and some even stock up on hundreds of tons. Some merchants also take the opportunity to speculate on the purple sand mud under the banner of extinct purple sand mud, causing the price of purple sand mud to rise from tens of yuan per ton to tens of thousands of yuan per ton. ton. Therefore, the value of a purple clay teapot is not in the clay, but in the human factor.

Just because a purple clay teapot is cheap doesn’t mean it’s not good.

A good pot needs to be judged from five aspects: clay, shape, workmanship, style and decoration. The mud determines the quality of the purple clay pot, but it is not the only factor in evaluating the price of the purple clay pot! The length of soil cultivation, the reputation of the craftsman, the meticulousness of the pot craftsmanship, the rarity of the pot model, etc. are the factors that determine the price of the purple clay pot.

Just think about it, among the many craftsmen, how many are famous in the world? There are sky-high price teapots everywhere, but there are also not many less famous craftsmen. However, the reality is pressing, they also have to support their families, make every pot in a down-to-earth manner, and sell it to people who appreciate it, so that they can live a good life. Therefore, the cheapness of a purple clay teapot does not necessarily mean that it is inferior.

The teapot is for drinking tea, not for speculation.

We firmly believe that teapots are for making tea, not for speculation. Under the guise of the disappearance of purple clay, there is no need to speculate on purple clay teapots. People who really want to drink tea well will definitely not want to buy a teapot that is sold on the market, and may even be intimidated by the market.

Expensive purple clay teapots do exist, but that does not mean that the teapots are cheap and of poor quality. In fact, purple clay teapots purchased for a few hundred yuan to one thousand yuan are also within a reasonable price range . It is possible to find real purple clay teapots at this price, but it is absolutely impossible to buy them for tens of yuan.
