How about the silver pot in Hummingbird Workshop?

The silver pot of Hummingbird Workshop is heavy and steady, which is not easy to oxidize and maintain.

As an old silver pot, smoked silver is highly praised by pot friends for its Gu Zhuo flavor and heavy and calm impression. Doing old crafts is also called retro or ancient beauty crafts. If the silver pot is used for a long time, is not properly maintained or is exposed to sulfur in the air for a long time, the surface of the pot will undergo oxidation reaction, from pure silver white to yellow, to dull, and finally to black texture.

Natural silver oxide pot, after forming patina, will produce luster and attractive texture, but the color of the pot surface is uneven during oxidation, and oxidation is a long process. So hummingbirds teamed up with senior silversmiths to forge a process to artificially accelerate the surface oxidation of silver pots.

The advantage of this process is that after the patina is formed, the degree of oxidation treatment is more uniform, the color is restrained and calm, and it is low-key and unobtrusive, just like the natural texture of the years, and it is also easy to maintain in daily use.

The first step of a newly bought silver pot is to boil it. In addition to fine workmanship, the handmade silver pot has been cleaned during the production process, so the steps of boiling the purchased handmade silver pot are relatively simple. Wash the silver pot several times with clear water; Adding 70%-80% water, boiling the water with a ceramic electric stove, standing for 1-2 minutes, and then pouring out the water; Then add water to boil, pour it out, and repeat it for 2-3 times, and then boil the silver pot to make tea.
