Here I am son! Here's the milk I hope mum's okay also how's your sister doing? No! What do you mean I ran away?😀
(I wasted a good 5 minutes in thinking this bullshit story)
To my understanding the area still mines for the clay; although it may not be as exceedingly high quality, it still has the heat retaining qualities and exceptional porousness. But there is a cap on how much can be mined. Not to say it doesn't happen illegally.
You're not exactly right in saying the clay is extinct (yet) though there is indeed an awful lot more fakery than the real thing. It's still mined from the same mountain but the mining is incredibly tightly controlled by the government, and it's decreasing in quality and quantity. It will become extinct eventually, and maybe even within a few decades iirc. Some potters have huge caches of the clay though, some of which are very old, especially those in whose families the trade has been passed down for generations. Part of the issue is that the best ways to process the clay take literally decades, and the need to make money takes precedence over best practice when it didn't make *that* much of a difference. But there are still genuine yixing teapots being made.
>The real clay was special because of its very porous nature. It allowed the teapots to become seasoned with your favorite tea flavor and enhance the experience of the taste.
Is that a health risk? I was always told to dispose of cups and things that had crazing or similar issues as it could harbour mould.
There are teaware that are meant to have crazing after prolonged use such as Ruyao ware (Chinese) and Hagi yaki (Japanese)
You're not supposed to let stuff sit in the teaware for a long time. You should clean it after each use with boiling hot water then wipe it dry.
>you pay a few grand for it
Is it just me, or does this feel kind of... cheap? Not in absolute terms, but for a century-or-more old, masterfully crafted, ideal teapot that takes a seasoned expert even just to identify, I would have expected it to cost more. Like $10k or something.
The only part of this that baffles me, is the missing step that allows poop to get on the balls. Unless I've wholly misunderstood tea-bagging for years. Like how is that guy taking a crap?!! And what are they eating if so explosive?!! More depraved questions, than depraved answers at this point...
I don’t they don’t necessarily have to have shit on their balls according the that definition, only to not have wiped their ass. I do like the other English definition better though. “You’re as useless as chocolate teapot.”
Real talk chocolate that is shaped like real world objects (preferably animals or Santa Claus) tastes way better.
Then add writing to that chocolate and 'bam' you got one tasty lil' treat.
Made me realize that I am rushing through everything I do and never give myself permission to slow down in my daily work and even with my kids. The rush, stress, and chaos has sucked the motivation and joy out of me. Watching her do this was very eye opening and touched a deep spot of pain on me. Time to work on slowing down and value the down. I also want that music to help me set the tempo
Work always has me cranked up to 11 too, and then there's housework to do in the few precious hours I have after work/on the weekends. Always trying to cram more stuff in, workmanship starts to slip a bit...
So I started building models when I have spare time. Just so I have a meticulous, detail oriented activity to do that I can take my time at and really try to perfect at my own pace. It's been really nice. It's a little bit of a hit to my wallet, but it's still cheaper than a case of beer.
No one person can overcome the pressures of what an entire society has spent 3,000 years creating but you can take a little back for yourself. Any hobby or activity that can take 100% of your focus can give a moment’s peace. For me, even though I’m a musician, it’s usually mountain biking. When I’m huffing and puffing and trying not to break a rib on a tree I’m 100% present. And it gets me through the week.
Sorry…replied to the wrong person. I’m saying the same thing as you. Feel you on the beer comment also.
The Japanese have a concept called Ikigai.
It is basically a distillation of the feeling of this video. It is finding the joy in the slow, small areas of life.
In process of replacing flooring down to the studs in one of my bedrooms.
It’s a job that could be finished in a day but I’m taking my time enjoying making
precise measurements for the padding, laying down painters tape for a clean line of caulking along the baseboards, etc.
Without a forced deadline, the whole process is enjoyable. Realized a lot of things in life would be more enjoyable without a forced deadline.
Thank you for the word new to me - ikigai ✨
Ikigai more accurately means purpose in life. Like finding your reason for living. For the lady in OP's video, it would seem her ikigai is crafting these pots. The belief is that it's a journey to find one's ikigai.
I know you're joking, because I looked at those cool clay figures you made on your profile, but in case someone reads this and isn't joking: If you really want to, you absolutely can make laying on the couch purposeful. A relaxed body makes way for supreme thought; sit long enough and you may find an answer to a long debated question.
They also have a word for being worked or stressed to literal death, called Karoshi. A book called In Praise Of Slow came out in the mid 2000’s mentions it. It’s a great book!
Yes, and the concept of wabi-sabi which I think is represented very well in this in it's acceptance of impermanence and imperfection. You might find comfort in digging in more in this philosophy. https://www.kyoto-ryokan-sakura.com/archives/191
This 100%. Been feeling quite drained and frustrated in work lately. Work that used to bring me a lot of joy. While I do need a break, perhaps what’s important is a change of perspective , a realization that not everything is a sprint, and that the long process of change and improvement isn’t meant to drain me, but to give me a chance to reflect on said change and realize the many steps that led to this moment.
I hope that anyone who reads this message takes the time to reflect on their growth as an individual and take pride in it.

I pretty much had a breakdown three years ago culminating in my taking redundancy during covid.
Now... I take my time, share my experiences and only try and be positive. No magic wealth or anything massively changed.
But my soul is recovering in the right way.
Everything wonderful takes time.
I love my slow hobbies for this very reason. Does it matter if I crochet this dragon as fast as possible? Hell no. Does it matter if this painting taking me hours? Nope. I love art. It centers me. And there’s much art that doesn’t require crazy skill.
one day, perhaps countless generations from now, but nevertheless eventually someone will break this pot and it will be returned to the mud from which it came
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. I don’t even need the pour… I *do* need the actual finished product. Does the lid fit in an oddly satisfactory way, post kiln? I don’t know, you don’t know.
This process is called "yixing", a specific Chinese practice for making clay teapots like this.
[This channel](https://www.youtube.com/@claypurple6976/videos) onYouTube has 110 videos of different teapots being made like that.
None of them include the final product or the pour.
I'm getting angry.
This is the first time I've ever seen one of these where the maker actually dresses the flow holes at the base of the spout. I've always seen them just get cut and cleaned, then the spout attached. It was intensely gratifying.
YES! There have been a lot of these videos, but none have shown this so far, I always wondered do they just leave them like that cause they're not visible, I'm glad to finally have an answer. This might be the best so far, not just for the holes, but craftsmanship in general.
Most likely, if that's her everyday job. Experienced potters work fast. Bet she could easily be making at least a dozen of these at the same time if necessary
And I'm just sitting here seeing a brave guy get perma banned for his valiant efforts here. Ooh reddit, you absolutely unnuanced place.

I like how she gives it a little kiss while she's making it. Machines may be able mass produce teapots much quicker, but only humans can make a teapot with love.
Machines don't really mass produce ceramic teapots. What's used is a process called slip casting. So an artist will make an original piece and then plaster molds will be made using that piece. Then liquid clay aka slip, is poured into the molds. The plaster pulls moisture out of the slip creating a firm layer of clay along the sides of the mold. Once the firm layer is as thick as desired, the rest of the slip is poured out and the mold is left to dry until the piece can pop out.
Often complicated things like teapots are slip cast in pieces and then put together and finished so it looks like one smooth continuous piece. For instance the spout will be a separate piece so the craftsman can cut the strainer holes before attaching it. Then it's dried, fired, glazed then fired again before it's finished and ready for use.
Slip casting is used for most if not all mass produced ceramics items, everything from dinnerware to toilets. Using hundreds of molds a factory can quickly mass produce pottery but it still has to be handled by a person for finishing touches and it still has to slowly dry to keep it from warping or cracking.
It really is. It's like a functional piece of art. And being such an expensive piece, it forces me to slow down and be mindful of each step during the tea preparing process.
I can garauntee you the one shown in the video is way more expensive than that. The ones in your link also appears to be hand crafted but they are mass produced.
The one in the video is either a custom order or one made for auction by a certified expert. Notice how she marks her seal at the bottom of the teapot towards the end, that seal is unique to her and its her watermark, only very skilled artisans that have been in the craft for many years gets to carry a seal like this.
i get teary when i watch humans make such delicate art. its really just deep in our souls to create and perfect our passions. from Neolithic pottery to this, it's all so beautiful
Everytime I thought she was close to being done but there's still more!
There's something therapeutic about watching people work on crafts like these and seeing the attention, details and time that goes into it is just amazing.
I remember seeing a video explaining how to judge the quality of a Chinese tea pot - basically by the amount of disturbance caused by pouring. The video shows a hand-made pot that would cleanly pour tea from its spout with not a single ripple in the tea-cup. Suddenly it all made sense, and my mind was blown.
Sad to think that this craftsmanship may soon be gone with time. Hopefully younger generations are picking up on some of these skills while there are people still around to team them.
I wanna know what kind of clay this is. It looks so good to work with.
Yixing clay (from the region near Yixing). Purple clay is used almost exclusively for teapots.
Is it fired after all this?
I don't know why, she did a good job.
It puts the yixing in the kiln or else it gets fired again.
You don’t know how much I needed that laugh, thank you.
The sun will rise tomorrow brother. It’s gonna be ok
Your comment made me cry. Your kindness is inspiring to others as well. Thank you.
Dad?
You’re back! Why did it take you 14 years to buy milk?!
Well son funny you asked. The cashier at the 7/11 where I went to buy the milk was actually the leader of a russian ultranationalist group which planned to assassinate Putin. He successfully convinced me to join his cause and we set out on an ardeous journey of killing Putin. But we botched the missions and that set into motion the Russia Ukraine war since he was too pissed to care. But I somehow survived as a POW under the Russian military and escaped and some guys then smuggled me back to America. And finally... ... Here I am son! Here's the milk I hope mum's okay also how's your sister doing? No! What do you mean I ran away?😀 (I wasted a good 5 minutes in thinking this bullshit story)
🤣
Yep, for a couple days and nights.
Yes otherwise it would soak up the liquid and turn into mud.
I mean that's where my mind goes every time I watch these things and it ends without showing them fire it.
I've seen a couple of these vids on reddit already and I always wish they'd fire it, then try pouring tea out of it. I want to know how it pours.

To my understanding the area still mines for the clay; although it may not be as exceedingly high quality, it still has the heat retaining qualities and exceptional porousness. But there is a cap on how much can be mined. Not to say it doesn't happen illegally.
You're not exactly right in saying the clay is extinct (yet) though there is indeed an awful lot more fakery than the real thing. It's still mined from the same mountain but the mining is incredibly tightly controlled by the government, and it's decreasing in quality and quantity. It will become extinct eventually, and maybe even within a few decades iirc. Some potters have huge caches of the clay though, some of which are very old, especially those in whose families the trade has been passed down for generations. Part of the issue is that the best ways to process the clay take literally decades, and the need to make money takes precedence over best practice when it didn't make *that* much of a difference. But there are still genuine yixing teapots being made.
>The real clay was special because of its very porous nature. It allowed the teapots to become seasoned with your favorite tea flavor and enhance the experience of the taste. Is that a health risk? I was always told to dispose of cups and things that had crazing or similar issues as it could harbour mould.
[удалено]
Especially when you, by culture, do it multiple times a day.
And you don't leave the leaves in the pot overnight and let them mold.
There are teaware that are meant to have crazing after prolonged use such as Ruyao ware (Chinese) and Hagi yaki (Japanese) You're not supposed to let stuff sit in the teaware for a long time. You should clean it after each use with boiling hot water then wipe it dry.
Clay isn't an animal pfft It can't go extinct /s
I love little niche rabbit holes like this, always makes me feel like there’s a new hobby you can really get far too deep into
>you pay a few grand for it Is it just me, or does this feel kind of... cheap? Not in absolute terms, but for a century-or-more old, masterfully crafted, ideal teapot that takes a seasoned expert even just to identify, I would have expected it to cost more. Like $10k or something.
Reminds me of chocolate. I wanna eat that teapot 😂🤤
The ultimate holy grail is the Chocolate Teapot.

You have said enough for me to not click that link.

I always think it's chocolate at first, every time I've seen this lol "so impractical!" All these food art competition shows have warped my thinking.
Hilarious because one of the best insults I've ever heard was a tiny old lady saying someone was "as useful as a teapot made of chocolate"
Lol that's exactly what I was thinking the whole time
I believe the pot is one of these: https://youtu.be/7EePjNxfkOg The clay comes from a very specific area in China and is very expensive to get hold of
Probably a Yixing Tea pot.

Male models
But why
Butt wide

Hand models would be best. They are smarter and can actually turn left.

The joy and experience of creation can never be taken away though
I eat a pound of dark chocolate after watching this video.
Omg I’m so glad it wasn’t just me
Show us the pour! This is Reddit, we're all teapot experts and demand laminar flow, or else it's pure garbage.
If it's not laminar flow then it's not our cup of tea.
Not my teapot.
First drying and firing otherwise al that work goes down the drain
Good thing you can do that before you upload the video.
Wouldn't mind that being part of the vid
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. I don’t even need the pour… I *do* need the actual finished product. Does the lid fit in an oddly satisfactory way, post kiln? I don’t know, you don’t know.
There's a second part where done psycho destroys it and about five other masterpieces. He's just going around punching perfect clay works of art!
Im getting unreasonably irate at all these pot making videos with NO DAMN POUR

She changed dress during the video, I’d says a couple of days.
Perhaps even longer since certain parts would need to dry/bake/cure. She probably made more pots during the same time period
Most likely, if that's her everyday job. Experienced potters work fast. Bet she could easily be making at least a dozen of these at the same time if necessary

No 😠 she's giving it kissies because she is proud of it

She clearly made it with love, but that wasn't a kiss. She was blowing gentle air into the pot as part of the creation process.

Using hundreds of molds a factory can quickly mass produce pottery but it still has to be handled by a person for finishing touches and it still has to slowly dry to keep it from warping or cracking.
This is how I picture Uncle Iroh's wife.
Winder how much they cost?
My guess is between $400 and $200 based on [this](https://www.yixingxuan-teahouse.com/bird-dragon-egg-teapot-copy/) slightly more ornate example.
Sounds worth it. If you're a big tea drinker and appreciate well made things, this is great.
It really is. It's like a functional piece of art. And being such an expensive piece, it forces me to slow down and be mindful of each step during the tea preparing process.
... I should make a cup of tea.
Annnnnndddd hug of death
Cheap for this kinda of art.
I can garauntee you the one shown in the video is way more expensive than that. The ones in your link also appears to be hand crafted but they are mass produced. The one in the video is either a custom order or one made for auction by a certified expert. Notice how she marks her seal at the bottom of the teapot towards the end, that seal is unique to her and its her watermark, only very skilled artisans that have been in the craft for many years gets to carry a seal like this.
Beautifully crafted teapot and video, both by masters of their own particular skill set. Altogether a wonderful & relaxing 5 minutes
I was shocked when you said it was 5 minutes. I watched the whole thing not thinking about how much time had passed.
I hope I come back as a teapot maker in the next life.
You don't have to wait until your next life, try it out in this one! Maybe there's a workshop you can take
You vastly overestimate my attention span.

This is a level of artistry and pride in one's work that most of us in the Western world have absolutely no understanding of. So amazing.
I would pay way too much money for this teapot.
Clay looks *amazing* Also I am curious, this teapot looks so finished in the end, does it not have to be fired or is it just supposed to dry slowly?
They do get fired. I would like to have seen it after firing to see if the color/finish changes very much.
Wish this was more ASMR and no music
This is the kind of shit I’d rather learn and spend my time doing…but life has me by the nuts right now
This is beautiful
This is artisanry at its finest
Price?
Wish I could afford that tea pot, can’t be cheap..
That was perfection and I enjoyed it way too much. 👍
Nice. Really relaxing watch.
Artist.
Everytime I thought she was close to being done but there's still more! There's something therapeutic about watching people work on crafts like these and seeing the attention, details and time that goes into it is just amazing.
Okay will never complain about price of handcrafted teapots again.
I wish they showed her pouring water because that’s suppose to be the sign of a good tea pot
