Clay from this period is still regarded as noticeably better in texture and ageing potential than most material used in today's mass-market pots, which is what makes well-preserved 90s pieces such good value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe squat, flattened body is more than charming. It lets strip-style teas such as Wuyi yancha, Dancong, Oriental Beauty and baozhong lie flat and unfurl naturally, while the low interior space concentrates aroma. At 100ml it sits squarely in classic gongfu territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is exactly the kind of pot we recommend to newcomers: honest brewing performance, period clay, and the atmosphere of an earlier era of Yixing production, all at a very approachable price. The base is stamped with the \"Zhong Guo Yi Xing\" (中國宜興) seal, standard on export pieces of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral identical pots are available; you will receive one from the batch with minor variations in clay tone normal for production work of this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"YUMM CHA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53197115818250,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/9204\/9674\/files\/IMG_9315.jpg?v=1781212001","url":"https:\/\/www.yumm-cha.com\/products\/factory-no-1-yixing-teapot-73-early-90s-red-clay-tai-jian-teapot-85ml-copy","provider":"YUMM CHA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
