Ti Liang pot is a kind of traditional Chinese tea set, usually used for making and pouring tea. The making of a teapot usually includes the following steps:

Screening raw materials: Teapots usually use ceramic or zisha clay as raw materials. It is important to select the right raw materials before making.

Making the blank: The raw materials are mixed with water and then molded into a blank by hand or machine. During the process of making the blank, attention needs to be paid to the beauty of the shape and the thickness of the pot body.

Finishing the body: Finishing the body is the process of taking the freshly molded body and putting it through a series of finishing and polishing to make it smoother and flatter, which will help with subsequent decoration and firing.

Decorating: This is an important step in the process of making a tiliang pot, and it is what distinguishes a tiliang pot from other tea utensils. Different kinds of decorations are made on the body of the pot, such as carving patterns, applying colors, appliqués, etc., to make the Tibiao pot more beautiful and artistic.

Firing: The decorated teapots are put into the kiln for high temperature firing. Different raw materials and different decoration methods require different firing temperatures and times, which is the key to ensure the quality and characteristics of the Tileung pots.

Assembling: assembling the different parts of the Tileung pots together, such as the lifting beam and the lid.

The above are the general steps of making a Tibiao pot, which may vary slightly from one production process to another, but in general, making a Tibiao pot requires a lot of manual labor and expertise, and it also requires the maker to have a certain understanding of the history and cultural background of Tibiao pots.
