The difference between manual teapot and machine teapot

1. The manufacturing method is different: the handmade teapot is completely handmade and needs to go through many processes, including modeling, kneading, carving and firing. Machine-made pot is produced by machine, which mainly includes injection molding, firing and glaze spraying.

2. Different craftsmanship: Handmade teapots need to be operated by experienced masters personally, which requires high skills and mental state, while teapots made by machines are operated by craftsmen.

3. Different appearance styles: Handmade teapots have China characteristics and tend to be simple and natural, while machine teapots have standard modeling, regular appearance and simple and exquisite processing.

4. Price difference: Because the handmade teapots are made by the masters themselves, the materials are superior and the technology is excellent, so the price is expensive; The price of machine-made pot is cheaper.

5. The balance of the lid is different: the lid of the handmade teapot will not open by itself, and the liquid vapor will gradually become water droplets and stick to the lid, forming a natural water seal. However, the lid and body of the machine-made pot are usually relatively unsuitable. Over time, due to the weight of the lid, the lid is opened.

6. Different traditions and cultural backgrounds: As a representative of traditional culture in China, handmade teapots not only have a unique cultural background in production and use, but also are an important embodiment of China's aesthetics and philosophy. Machine-made pots lack these traditional cultural elements.
