The small amount of zhuni dahongpao ore (unprocessed clay) was handpicked by Lin Hanpeng from zhuni mined from Xiaomeiyao in Yixing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an yixing teapot made from a rare type of zhuni clay known as Zhuni Dahongpao. The ratio of dahongpao ore to regular zhuni ore is said to be 1:100, or 1kg of zhuni dahongpao ore for every 100kg of zhuni ore. Dahongpao zhuni has a greater amount of Fe2O3 iron oxide than regular zhuni giving it a deeper red-orange hue. It also contains a lower percentage of Al2O3 aluminum oxide than regular zhuni, making it more difficult to fire without breaking. The range of temperature for firing dahongpao zhuni successfully is very narrow. It also has a higher shrink rate than regular zhuni, sometimes shrinking as much as 40%.\u003cbr\u003eYou can read more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mudandleaves.com\/teatime-blog\/the-3-kinds-of-dahongpao-clay\"\u003eabout Zhuni Dahongpao here\u003c\/a\u003e, and more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mudandleaves.com\/teatime-blog\/yixing-zhuni-part-1\"\u003eabout zhuni clay here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pot is known as \"half-handmade\" as the sculptor uses a molding tool to shape the body, and uses his hands for the handle, spout, holes, and smoothing out the body.
