Videos of the making of a Yixing teapot
This short post is a follow-up to my last article on Yixing teapots and intended to satisfy the curiosity of some of you who’ve bought a Yixing teapot from us.
Did you ever wonder exactly how these precious little Yixings are made? I’ve found 3 videos that show you the creation of a Yixing teapot.
Making the body (with Master Zhou Guizhen)
Creating the spout and handle (Master Zhou Guizhen)
Finishing with the stamp and lid (with Master Zhu Jiang Long)
