feasibility
Teapots are used to make tea. It has long been concluded that the performance of teapot is "color, fragrance and taste". Moreover, scientific institutions have made detailed tests on the problem of "staying up late in summer", comparing sand pots with ceramics, and it has indeed proved that sand pots are much superior to ceramics. This conclusion is based on the uniqueness of purple sand raw materials. The teapot is practical, because of its high porosity, which makes it have the advantage of good permeability.
According to the 394th page of History of Du Tao in China, purple clay is characterized by high iron content and a large amount of aggregate in its microstructure. There are two kinds of pores, one is the pores inside the aggregate, the other is the pores around the aggregate, and most of them are open pores. The good permeability of purple clay may be related to this special microstructure.
According to the determination of physical and chemical properties of various clays by Yixing Ceramic Company, it is found that the porosity of purple clay is as high as 10%. Therefore, it shows that good air permeability is of course the main reason for "rich color, fragrance and taste of tea" and "staying up late in summer".
The good plasticity and bonding ability of purple sand mud are the reasons why it is beneficial to craft decoration. Moreover, the firing temperature range of purple sand is very wide, from 1 190℃ to 1270℃, which is another reason why purple sand products are watertight and not aging, and the more they are used, the more shiny they become. All the above shows that this kind of purple sand soil mixed with fine sandy sandstone is the best clay for making pottery pots and a unique treasure in Yixing, Tao Dou.
