Original Duanni Clay, traditionally known as "Lao Tuan Ni", is mined from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing, Jiangsu Province.
The raw ore appears close to white with dark green speckles. In addition to being used as clay for pottery making, it can also be ground and sieved into fine particles for sand blending purposes.
After firing, it exhibits a soft goose-yellow color with occasional reddish spots. The clay contains relatively large particles and a loose structure, resulting in a distinct double-porosity formation within the body. This allows excellent air circulation through the vessel.
With prolonged use, the teapot gradually reveals its hidden elegance, showing remarkable transformation through patination development.
