Zisha pottery products collection three taboos

With the prevalence of the teapot collection atmosphere, the investment value of the teapot has been favored by people. Its market price has also been rising. However, there are also a large number of imitation products. There was once a purple sand collector in Malaysia. There are nearly one thousand purple sand collections in his home, but the real works of art are also dozens of pieces. So, what should be paid attention to when collecting enthusiasts invest in collecting teapots? Collection of teapot should pay attention to the selection of quality, authentic products, and identify market conditions. Some famous teapots are very collectible, especially the works of some masters, which have been steadily rising. The large number of teapots that are spread on the ground are mostly fakes or shoddy goods, and there is no value for collection. Collect teapot, must increase their appreciation level, in case of falling into three misunderstandings of the purple sand art collection.

Yixing Zisha Mud is the authentic earth: In the past, people thought that using teapots to make tea was the best, without losing the flavor of tea. Because Yixing's Zisha mud has a double pore structure after firing, it has a high water absorption rate and has the air permeability that is lacking in common ceramic vessels. However, nowadays the popularity of pottery is widespread, and many people mistakenly believe that the purple clay mud is the purple soil or the “zisha mud” that is formulated. The “zisha pot” made from this raw material obviously has no advantage in tea making function. In response to this phenomenon, the Yixing region has already carried out resource protection for the production of local purple sand and mud, and implemented protective measures to cut production within three years from 2005.

The value of art is more important than “old”: Many people think that the old teapot is as good as possible, and it specializes in hiding old pots and old pots. There are two kinds of falsification methods on the market. One is to make the surface of the mud material old. The method is to polish the shoe polish. It looks like the hand is often touched. It looks old-fashioned, or it is corroded by strong acid; the second is to paint the teapot. White cement is used to defoam water to make soil unearthed. In fact, the key to measuring the value of a collection of teapots is to look at the value of art, not necessarily the older it is, the better.

Stained purple tea should not be tea: Yixing Zisha because of its mining area, mineral layer distribution, its natural color as many as dozens of species, very wonderful. The natural purple sand mud has red mud, or cinnabar mud, purple mud, green mountain mud (in beige), azure mud (gold in mud, green color in mining, very rare) and sand adjustment mud, etc. . However, in order to satisfy people's viewing needs, many potters now add chemical raw materials freely in pottery, and the pots produced in the end are brilliant in color, but the tea will have peculiar smell and its value is not high.
