Types of teapots

People in China like drinking tea, but they are also particular about it. Generally speaking, people in China should not only pay attention to the types of tea, but also pay attention to the drinking utensils. Among many tea sets, we have to mention the teapot. Zisha pot is a traditional handmade ceramic product in China, which has always been loved by tea lovers. Since ancient times, teapot has had the reputation of "no fragrance when covered, no taste of cooking soup", and excellent teapot is a good collection. There are many kinds of teapot, among which the following three are the most classic and popular.

The first is the stone ladle pot, which is known as the "king type" in the teapot. The stone ladle pot was first designed by Chen Man according to the shape of Yuan Dynasty, and was later named after Gu Jingzhou, who "only took one ladle in weak water". The reason why the stone ladle pot is popular is probably because its shape is simple but not simple. At first glance, the stone ladle pot seems inconspicuous, but the more you look at it, the more you can find its unique beauty. This is because the stone ladle pot conforms to the standard of golden ratio in morphological proportion, which can be described as simple but not simple.

Secondly, I want to introduce a beautiful stone pot named after the stone in the Spring and Autumn Period. As we all know, the legendary beauty is one of the four beauties in ancient China. Stone pots named after stones are naturally famous for their beauty. Both the lid and the body of the stone pot have a rounded arc, and the two are combined into a very rounded and beautiful sphere, which looks very soft and delicate as a whole. In addition, stone pots are also famous for their small size. Generally speaking, the volume of a stone pot is only 150 ~ 250 ml, so the pot body of a stone pot becomes smoother and more symmetrical during long-term tea drinking.

Finally, the antique teapot is a famous teapot created by Shao Daheng, a master of purple sand in Qing Dynasty. An antique pot was supposed to imitate a drum. As the name implies, its pot body is made by imitating the shape of drums on the battlefield, and later evolved into an antique pot. The antique pot is extremely atmospheric in shape, rigorous and elegant in structure, and the lines of the pot body can be freely retracted, especially the lines of the pot handle rise in an arc-shaped ear shape, which adds a bit of agility to the antique pot.
