🔍 How to identify fully handmade craftsmanship
This teapot is fully handmade, not semi-handmade.
Key identification points:
✔ Fully handmade characteristics:
- Inner wall shows natural, uneven “worm-like” hand marks
- Slight deformation visible from internal seal impressions
- Body formed entirely by hand tapping and shaping
- Clay texture appears looser and more natural inside
✖ Semi-handmade characteristics:
- Mold-based structure is more uniform
- Inner stamp is added after forming
- No natural deformation inside the body
Additional craftsmanship details:
- Built-in internal ball filter (anti-clogging, smooth water flow)
- Short spout design ensures controlled pouring
For Zhuni clay, the most important indicator is the mud texture at the bottom and inner wall structure, which clearly reflects hand-building.
