My new teapot

[larry127]

Hi there,

This is my first Chinese tea pot i bought it from one of chinese tea shop called Purple cane , in Malaysia. Does anyone know what's the handle and the pouring edge made of ? , they seems like a add on.

After googling for hours , finally i saw one looking the same on the internet

it appears to be different colors of clay combined heterogeneously.
they did a good job of cleanly attaching it to the teapot.
are you saying you think it was attached after firing?

cool teapot btw

i'm actually had no idea at all in chinese tea equipment /making tea , just started to learn through youtube and all the masters in this forum .....

Just to see whether anyone here had the same pot as mine , to know whether the colorful pouring edge is made of Zisha as well ? or jz a normal stone.

The Japanese call it nerigomi. It's a technique using two clays that are mixed together to create some unusual swirls. The Chinese also use this technique but I don't know the name for it. Here is an example by the famous Yixing master Gu Jingzhou.
