Compared with the more rounded Xishi forms commonly seen from Factory One, this version has a noticeably \u003cstrong\u003elower and broader body\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving it a compact, grounded profile and a very practical brewing shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFactory Two was established during the expansion of Yixing’s state-run zisha industry in the early 1980s. Its production system broadly followed that of Factory One, but pieces from Factory Two developed their own range of forms, clays and individual makers. Because they generally command less of a collector premium than comparable Factory One wares today, good examples can offer particularly strong value as everyday brewing pots.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pot is made from \u003cstrong\u003eheini (黑泥), or black zisha clay\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving it a quiet dark-brown to near-black appearance. Its relatively broad and flattened chamber gives the leaves room to spread laterally rather than vertically, making the shape particularly pleasant for \u003cstrong\u003eroasted oolongs, Wuyi yancha, and traditionally processed or aged oolong teas\u003c\/strong\u003e. These are teas where a slightly rounder, calmer presentation of the liquor can be especially enjoyable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe workmanship is straightforward but pleasing: the body has a soft continuous curve, the short spout rises naturally from the shoulder, and the loop handle gives the pot a balanced silhouette. The underside carries the maker’s mark \u003cstrong\u003e梅芳\u003c\/strong\u003e, alongside the factory-era production character visible in the form and finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than being a pot that needs to sit on a collector’s shelf, this is the kind of vintage Yixing piece that invites regular use. It combines \u003cstrong\u003e1980s factory provenance, an attractive black clay body, a very functional Xishi form, and an approachable price point\u003c\/strong\u003e—making it an excellent choice for someone looking for a genuine older Yixing pot for daily tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot suitable for dishwashers or microwaves.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGift Wrapping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree gift wrapping and removal of price tags are available for gifts.\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":53771804639498,"sku":null,"price":140.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/9204\/9674\/files\/IMG_3753.jpg?v=1789865034","url":"https:\/\/www.yumm-cha.com\/products\/factory-no-2-yixing-teapot-84-80s-black-clay-xishi-teapot-100ml","provider":"YUMM CHA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
