The identification of teapot is all manual

The identification of teapot needs a lot of knowledge and skills. Here are some ways to identify teapots by hand:

1. Identification of appearance characteristics: First, observe the overall appearance of the teapot to see if it conforms to the traditional characteristics such as shape, proportion, technology, pattern and color.

2. Identification of spout: The shape and inclination of spout determine the flowing water of spout. The upper end of a good teapot mouth should be slightly wider than the lower end, and the lower end should be long and sharp, so as to flexibly control the water flow and filter screen.

3. Identification of the lid: The lid is a major feature of the teapot, which should be matched with the pot body, with the same color and natural gradient, and the shape of the lid buckle should also be coordinated with the whole pot body.

4. Identification of the bottom of the pot: the bottom of the pot includes a round foot at the bottom and a base engraved with logo. A good teapot should have a smooth bottom, even toes and a clear bottom logo.

5. Identification of the inner wall of teapot: The inner wall is an important part of teapot. It depends on whether it is made of real vermicelli or purple mud, but also on the surface texture, sand size, pore distribution, pot volume uniformity and so on.

6. Smell identification: A good teapot should have no smell, and the inside of the teapot is slightly fragrant. If it smells, it may be that the cinnabar or purple mud it uses is impure.

7. Identification of pot weight: A good teapot should have moderate weight and comfortable feel. Traditionally, weight and volume should be the golden ratio.

In a word, identifying teapot requires patience and professional knowledge, and needs to accumulate experience and perceptual knowledge in practice.
