How to determine the authenticity of the purple clay pot?

1. Touch with your hands: Although a good purple sand pot feels frosted to the touch, it will not have a particularly prickly grainy feeling, and the graininess of the real purple sand pot is that very slight feeling.

2. Weight: The purple sand pot is made of purple sand, and the density of the purple sand is larger, so the quality of the purple sand pot will be relatively light, and it feels lighter than the general clay pot when it is made by hand.

3. Listen to the sound: The sound of a really good quality purple clay pot will not be so brittle, but it will be a little stuffy, so you should knock it with your hands when buying a purple clay pot.

There are a lot of purple clay pots on the market, which is dazzling and overwhelming, so write some of my personal methods when choosing purple clay pots for your reference. Please remember that the feeling of the purple clay pot is raised, and the more eye-catching pot is often more likely to confuse people. 1. Don't look at the pot with particularly bright and bright colors!

The basic chemical material, the colorful and bright color in nature is a warning color) 2. Don't look at it if you don't have a sense of weight in your hand! True purple clay pot weight. (Fake, of course, some thin-tired pots are lighter, but I'd generally prefer to kill by mistake!)

The main thing is that I feel that the use of thin tire pots should be very careful, and it is easy to break) 3. Don't look at the green and weird color pots! (Green, patina, and very red are all additives) 4. Be careful if the surface of the pot has a good water color! If it is a pot that has not been soaked, it looks very good in water color, try not to use this kind of pot!

One case is the mud fine, slurry. The surface of the pot is thick, and the particles of the pot are wrapped in a layer of slurry on the surface, or the particles can not be seen, so the "mud pot" does not be, because the air permeability is greatly discounted, and the taste of purple sand is lost, and the purple sand pot should pay attention to the sense of "sand". In the second case, the mud contains chemicals, and the "miscanthus powder" is added when refining the mud, and the water color of the pot is beautiful, and the color of the pot is uniform.

5. Look at the raw ore particles of the pot to be clear. Some pots with chemical materials, the chemical materials will wrap the particles, and the particles are not clear (need to use a 20 30 times magnifying glass to see). 6. The original ore pot has impurities, and there are a lot of impurities, and these impurities are not only iron.

These impurities usually appear as black particles, which are unevenly distributed on the surface of the pot, so many real raw ore pots are more ugly when they come out of the kiln, and the pot that looks too clean and uniform needs to be careful. 7. The purple clay pot should have a sense of grain, and the grains of the original ore pot are relatively clear and clean. The raw ore particles appear to be unevenly distributed, which is more natural, which is different from sand blending.

The sand particles are generally "floating" on the surface of the pot, or these sand penetrate inside and outside, but the particles are characterized by relatively uniform distribution and a feeling of artificial manipulation. The raw ore particles are more "harmonious" in the mud, and the sand adjustment particles are more "stiff".

8. Knock on the pot to listen to the sound, the sound of the purple clay pot should be the sound of the clay pot that is more "stuffy", if the knock is heard is the "ding" porcelain sound, such a pot does not touch. Listening to the sound is to distinguish the firing temperature of the pot, and the sound of "dingding" is the sound of the pot porcelain, which is generally a pulp pot or a fake pot (chemical material).

9. Air permeability can not be used as a sufficient condition for testing the raw ore purple sand pot, and some chemical pots are also breathable.

A real purple clay pot on the market is available in two or three hundred to hundreds of thousands. The contemporary purple clay pot is the most expensive Gu Jingzhou pot, and the pots of Zhu Kexin, He Daohong, Jiang Rong, Tan Quanhai, Jiang Rong, Wang Yinxian, Xu Xiutang, Bao Zhiqiang, Zhou Guizhen, Li Changhong, Gu Shaopei, etc. are also very valuable.

Let's hear what the teacher has to say!

How can you learn to swim without going into the water?

The following points are used to distinguish the authenticity of purple clay pots.

One is to look. Look at the surface first. Since it is clay and not glazed, the surface of the new purple clay pot cannot be shiny, but rough.

In order to look good, fake clay pots are generally waxed and polished. Secondly, the purple sand mud contains trace elements such as quartz and mica, which will form crystals in high-temperature firing, so under the light, the whole pot body can see many subtle silvery-white bright spots. Third, the color of the real purple clay pot is almost the same inside and outside, and there will not be much difference.

The second is to test with boiling water. Pour freshly boiled water into the pot and pour it along the body, closing the lid. You will see that the water is not flowing downstream, but is slowly sucked dry; The lid is slowly moistened and then slowly absorbed.

This is a manifestation of the purple clay pot with double-layer air holes and good air permeability.

The third is to leave the brewed tea in the teapot, and the tea will not become rancid within two or three days.

In addition, the identification method of knocking the lid of the pot to hear the sound is actually unscientific. Because of the difference in shape and mud, the sound will be different. In addition, adding glass water to the fake mud can also knock out a sound similar to the real mud.

The greater effect of tapping to listen to the sound is to discern if there are any hidden cracks in the body of the pot.

Yes, it is possible to use purple or black mud.

The mud should not be very colorful, but soft.

Answer 1: There is starlight and melting point, and the sand color is not single: the natural purple sand ore contains a large amount of mica, quartz and iron. The sand in the purple sand refers to quartz, and the size of the quartz particles determines the thickness of the surface of the purple sand pot; The surface and inner wall of the purple clay pot have stars like twinkling in the night sky, which is mica; There are also black spots or stripes on the body of the pot, which is the color of insoluble iron (ferric ions, essential minerals for the human body), commonly known as melting point; The purple sand ore is a symbiotic mineral, so there will be particles of different colors in it, and there will not be only one sand color in it after it is made into a pot.

2. Breathability and water absorption: The tea suitability of the purple sand pot mainly comes from the air permeability of the double porous structure, so a pot made of real purple sand must be breathable and absorbent. Pour some hot water into the purple clay pot to warm the pot, pour boiling water outside, and you can see that the surface of the pot has hanging water and absorbs it, which means that it has the nature of the purple sand pot, which is a real purple sand material, otherwise it is a fake.

3. After use, you can raise a good-looking pulp: the purple clay pot also has a very important fun, that is, raising the pot. In the process of using the pot, the oily components in the tea are absorbed by the purple clay pot, and the color slowly becomes darker, and a layer of jade-like pulp is formed on the surface of the pot.

Therefore, a real purple sand is sure to be able to raise the pulp, and the better the material, the faster it will be raised, if a pot has not changed for a few months, the color has not deepened, and it has not become moist, then it can be concluded that it is a fake.

The standard of the advantages and disadvantages of the purple clay pot can be summed up in five words: "mud, shape, work, style, and work". The first four words belong to the artistic standard, and the last word is the functional standard.

1) Craftsmanship: The craftsmanship of the purple sand pottery people will have different styles even if they are from the same school. Such as the fine straightness of the line, the square circle of the outline is sharp and blunt.

2) Mud tire soil: hue, granularity and glossy texture, different years have different process characteristics, and its tire soil is also mined from different ore veins. For example, the yellow color of the mud in ancient times is caused by not knowing how to mix iron oxide powder.

Late Qing Dynasty"Azure mud"It is also different from the mud of previous dynasties, the mud and sand grains at that time were coarse, and it could be engraved with bamboo knives and wooden seals.

3) Temperament and charm: This is the most important criterion for identification. All masterpieces, due to their unique superb artistic quality and skilled production skills, as well as the in-depth understanding of the performance of the mud and the grasp of the kiln temperature atmosphere, their masterpieces have an inimitable charm and aura.

4) Styling style: Each era has specific standards for the feeling of beauty and formal requirements. There are subtle differences in the styling style, the overall proportions, the mouth, the handle, and the buttons.

5) Seal recognition: The production of fake seals or styles has always been the best thing for counterfeiters, especially the use of modern scientific and technological means to mess with the truth. So, don't just rely on the seal to determine authenticity.

6) The charm of calligraphy and painting, and the proficiency of knife skills, which are difficult for counterfeiters to imitate.

7) Characteristics of the times: The ancient pots are in the early stage of mud grinding and preparation, and the mining is close to the surface, so the pot mud has the characteristics of roughness and light color.

Identifying the advantages and disadvantages of purple clay pots is mainly considered from the perspective of "mud", "shape", "work" and "style".

"Mud" is the root of the value of the purple sand pot, and a pot made of pure Yixing purple sand mud has realistic use, investment and collection value. A significant feature of the purple clay pot is that it feels different, and it feels like touching bean paste - fine but not greasy, and very comfortable.

The "shape" of the purple sand pot is the most abundant of all kinds of utensils in the world, and the purple sand pot with the shape of "ancient charm" can be more accepted by the traditional Chinese culture, and the purple sand pot with the simple traditional shape has more collection significance and appreciation space than the pot with a peculiar shape.

"paragraph" is the style of the pot. There are two meanings of appreciating purple clay pots: one is to identify who the author of the pot is, or who is the author of the inscription.

The other means to appreciate the content of the inscription, the engraved calligraphy and painting, the print, etc. Historically, the purple clay pot is priced according to the person, and the famous pot is 100 times more expensive.

From the point of view of technology, in addition to the flow, handle, button, cover, shoulder, belly, and circle of a good purple clay pot should be coordinated with the overall proportion of the pot body, the transition of points, lines, and surfaces must also be explained clearly and smoothly.

Identifying the purple clay pot is identified in four ways: looking, smelling, asking, cutting, and needing to be considered, such as the workmanship of the purple sand pot, the charm of the purple sand pot, and so on. In daily life, we must see more, learn more, and learn from experience, so as to practice the ability to identify purple clay pots.

Smell, the new pot is generally only vulgar and fire, but no taste, and the purple clay pot after a little bubble will have a light tea fragrance.

Cut, touch the purple clay pot with your hands, it may be a little dry just out of the kiln, which is normal, and it will become jade after raising. The real purple clay pot looks grainy and uneven, but it feels smooth to the touch.

Extended information: Zisha pot is bullish in the auction market, it is a collection of "antiques", and the works of famous masters are often difficult to find. The purple clay pot is a handmade clay handicraft unique to the Han nationality in China.

The raw material for the production is purple sand mud, which is also known as Yixing purple sand pot in Dingshu Town, Yixing, Jiangsu. Since the Zhengde period of Ming Wuzong, purple sand began to be made into pots, and there have been many famous masters, and there have been fine products handed down in the past 500 years. It is said that the founder of the purple clay pot was the spring offering of the Ming Dynasty in China.

Because of the perfect combination of artistry and practicality, the purple clay pot is so precious and evocative. More on the benefits of making tea in the purple sand pot and the culture of tea Zen, this adds to the noble elegance of the purple sand.
