Thousands of teapots are careful to have pits inside

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Lou bought a teapot worth nearly 5,000 yuan at a tea city in the Jiancaoping District of Taiyuan City. Originally intended to be a gift for the father-in-law who loved drinking tea during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he did not expect that the old man would When he saw this pot, he told him that he had been cheated. This pot was fake and it was moulded out. It was not worth a few thousand dollars at all. The frustrated Mr. Chung could only recognize the plant because he did not understand the pot and suffered economic losses.

Zisha pot, because of its unique material and its advantages that Other utensils cannot match, is sought after by many tea drinkers and collectors. In Taiyuan, the provincial capital, there are many tea shops in Zishahu, so what about these teapots? To this end, the reporter conducted a survey interview.

Do not understand the pot to buy a pot, was pitted by the business in early September, Mr. Yu plans to send the future father-in-law on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival a teapot. “Before asking a lot of friends, many people say that there are many tea cities in Jiancao, which sells a lot of pots, there are many good pots, there are many old collectors, is the first place in Taiyuan to sell teapot. Therefore, One day before the holiday, I had a lot of tea in there and I saw a lot of pots.” Mr. Lou told reporters.

Finally, in a store, Mr. Qin had a dark purple light pot. The reason why it is called "light pot" is because it is a kind of teapot with the most regular shape. Because it has no lettering or mud painting, it looks simple and generous. The owner told Mr. Lou that the light Jug is a pot shape of all the craftsmen's craftsmanship in all teapots. If given to the elderly, this style is the best. The owner introduced that this pot was made from Yixing's purest purple clay, and it was hand-crafted by the most famous local craftsmen in Yixing, and the price was slightly higher to RMB 6,000.

After Mr. Qiu's "soft rub hard bubble", the two sides finally traded at a price of 4,950 yuan. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Mr. Gao was happy to send the teapot to Zhunfu Father, he was told, “This is not a handmade teapot. It is made with a mold. It costs a few hundred dollars at most, and it costs thousands of dollars. The money bought is definitely cheated."

Mr. Yan immediately stared. However, he was still a little disheartened, so he also found a knowledgeable player identification, and finally confirmed that this pot is indeed not authentic. Mr. Xie said, "I don't understand the pot to buy the pot. Ten ** will be cheated. I know it."

Most of them are mold pots, but it is not uncommon to see them posing as Mr. Handi. “At present, in Taiyuan City and even in Shanxi Province, the whole teapot market is more confusing and derailed.” On September 13th, Taiyuan, the only arts and crafts master of handmade teapot Wang Ying, was interviewed by reporters. An industry source told reporters, “People who really understand pots and pots will not buy pots in Taiyuan, but will go to places like Beijing and Yixing. Therefore, the sales volume of pots in Taiyuan is not large, basically Outsiders bought gifts."

Then, what is the teapot on the market in Taiyuan? In the past few days, the reporter learned that after visiting several tea cities in Taiyuan City, it was learned that there are many mold pots on the market, and hand pots are very rare. Most merchants sell their pots as hand-operated pots and they are expensive. .

Wang Ying has made a very vivid example. The handmade pots are hand-made by the craftsmen. Even if they are the same style pots, they are all different. There are always some slight changes between each pot; the pots are Sameness. Therefore, the price of hand-operated pots is high, and the general buyers are mostly collectors, while the mold pots are low-grade teapots with low prices and relatively high sales.

Looking at the inner wall of the pot, how many types of fake pots are there on the market?

Wang Ying said that it can be divided into two major categories, one is the very cheap "quartz pot" seen on the market, this pot is actually called a grouting pot, its purple sand content is very small, the price is very cheap, tens of dollars Can buy; the other is the mold pot, businesses will call it "purely handmade" and sky-high asking price, which requires consumers to be careful to distinguish clearly.

Under normal circumstances, the most intuitive point in distinguishing the mold pot and the hand pot is to look at the inner wall of the pot. First of all, to see if the inner wall of the pot is smooth and smooth: the handmade pot is made by the tradesman by hand, so the inner wall of the pot is rough, so it can also incorporate more tea scale. After a long time, the tea can be poured into clean water in time and it can also be soaked. Tea fragrance, and the mold pot is made of plaster mold, so the inner wall is flat; second, look at whether there is imprint on the inner wall pot handle, if not, it is a mold pot. “When the mold pots and hand pots are clearly identified, the quality of the pots must be discerned.” Zhang Anguo, an old collector who has been playing with pots for more than 30 years, told reporters, “First, the real teapot has good air permeability and if it is watered on the pot It will not hang water and dry immediately. Poor quality pots will always be wet after being watered. Secondly, fill the pot with water to see if the water is smooth and the pot water will be very smooth. The water column is even; then, to see if the lid can pass, the high-quality pot lid can pass through and smooth; finally, check the tightness of the pot, fill it in the pot, and tilt the pot after pressing the outlet on the lid. No water is good pot, if the water shows that it is not tight, it is a bad pot."

To buy pots and bargaining prices, we must be able to “pick up” the hearts of reporters who have seen in a number of teapot shops. The prices of the same style pots range from a few hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. They are very different, and they are difficult to distinguish from the appearance. In this regard, Mr. Li, who has been collecting teapots for many years, disclosed to the reporter a method to purchase teapots: If you buy a pot of 20,000 yuan or less, halve the price on the basis of the merchant's asking price, and then reduce it by 1/3. Mr. Li gave an example. For example, if a merchant asks for a pot of 1,000 yuan, his psychological price must first reach 500 yuan, then he cuts off 1/3, which means 350 yuan can buy this pot. But even in this case, businesses will earn more than 100 yuan. However, Mr. Li also reminded consumers that if they are not familiar with the business, this price business is very reluctant to sell.

Wang Ying said that with the soaring of the Zishahu market, local people in Yixing have become increasingly insecure about the private mining of purple sand mines. In 2007, the local government promulgated the “Regulations on Protection of Yixing Zisha in Wuxi City,” and implemented protection for some mines. However, because of this, some merchants have seized upon this business opportunity and have accumulated a large amount of purple clay, taking the opportunity to raise the price of the purple clay, and the price of the teapot has become higher and higher. Therefore, Wang Ying reminds consumers that the greatest value of teapot lies in the style and concept of the producer. Compared to some famous teapots, the cost of purple clay is minimal. If it is not for collection, ordinary consumers do not need to chase expensive prices. Pots and ordinary teapots can also be cultivated by good people.
