This is a 90ml half-handmade pot made from Jiangponi clay.

Jiangponi is a relatively modern Yixing clay type.
The ores used to make Jiangponi were discovered a few decades ago while digging a road between Huanglong and Qinglong mountains.
The clay is actually a mix of three faous ores in Yixing - Zini (purple), Hongni (red) and Duanni (yellow).
This blend of colours in Jiangponi ores means that the colour of the finished pot can vary from mre red versions like this one (with higher amounts of Hongni) to more yellow or orange colours.
Because Jiangponi is blend of three distinct clays (Red, Purple, and Yellow), it contains a rich mix of different geological minerals.
You can see this by looking close up at this pot - it shows golden speckles of Duanni and silver speckles of the mineral Mica.


This is a half-handmade pot, meaning it is made by hand with the use of shaping moulds. Fully handmade means that it is entirely made from clay without any shape template moulds.
