Product Overview
Jianshui Purple Pottery is a traditional Chinese ceramic art form that originates from Jianshui County in Yunnan Province. Known for its exquisite craftsmanship and distinctive purple glaze, Jianshui pottery has a long history, dating back to the Tang Dynasty. The pottery is characterized by its deep, rich colors and smooth texture, with the purple glaze often appearing especially captivating under sunlight. Made from local purple clay, it is crafted using unique handcraft techniques and high-temperature firing processes, making each piece a work of art.
Jianshui Purple Pottery is made from a mixture of clay, alumina, and other raw materials. The pottery is known for its fine texture, with a particle size of about 280 mesh, and its rich purple glaze. The production process involves hand-throwing the clay into shape, followed by multiple steps of kneading, stretching, pressing, and squeezing to achieve the desired form.
A standout feature of Jianshui Purple Pottery is its unique polishing technique, known as "unglazed polishing," which results in a high-gloss, mirror-like finish. In terms of decoration, it employs an "incised and filled" technique, where designs are carved into the semi-dried clay, and different colored clay materials are then filled into the grooves, creating intricate and colorful patterns. This combination of fine materials, skilled craftsmanship, and distinctive decorative methods gives Jianshui Purple Pottery its enduring appeal.
