$450.00

Name: PAN HU

Capacity: 200cc

Material: Shi Hong

Shi Hong is the most magical and unique type of Yixing zisha clay material, with extremely high difficulty in kneading and crafting. It is the clay material with the highest mineral content among all Yixing zisha materials. Beneficial minerals such as iron and zinc are present in higher concentrations compared to other clay materials, making it highly beneficial for human health.

It is extremely suitable for brewing Liu Bao tea and aged tea.

Shi Hong has a low production yield and a high sand content, with low plasticity. It is not suitable for forming using a single mineral and is often mixed with other minerals to improve its color (hue and lustre) and viscosity.

It is difficult to shape and has a very low success rate when using pure Shi Hong to make Yixing zisha teapots."

Shape

Yixing zisha teapot shape Pan Hu <潘壶> is named after the surname of Pan Shicheng, a wealthy merchant from Guangdong during the Qing dynasty.

The proportions of the teapot body are harmonious and sleek, with exquisite craftsmanship. The belly of the pot is rounded and gradually tapers down to the bottom. The shoulder shrinks into a short neck, which is plump and full of temperament, but not elegant. The lid of the pot is raised, and the knob of the lid is consistent with the body of the pot, complementing each other. The simple and natural shape is highly practical, and the combination of dots, lines, and planes creates an atmosphere of grandeur, conciseness, and liveliness in the artistic style, making it a classic masterpiece.

The shape of "Pan Hu" combines the characteristics of "Duo Qiu" and "Fang Gu". The pot body is wide and round, able to hold a large capacity, and exudes a dignified and steady elegance, which is highly sought after by collectors.

石红，是最神奇，最特殊的一款紫砂泥料，练泥和制作难度都极其高。是所有紫砂泥料中含矿物质最多的泥料。其中对人体有益的铁、锌等含量均高于其他泥料。

极其适合冲泡六堡茶、老熟茶。

石红产量稀少，含砂成分多，可塑性低，单一矿不宜成型，常打成浆泥，一直以来都与其他矿料配合使用，以提高成色（色感和润度）及粘稠度。

用纯石红做出来的紫砂壶，不仅难以成型，成品率也是极低。

壶型：潘壶（高潘）

潘壶，是以清朝的广东富商潘仕成的姓氏命名。

壶身各比例协调一致，匀称流畅，造型堪称精美。壶腹如鼓，向下缓缓收成底。肩部收缩成短小壶颈，气质丰腴又饱满，又不是典雅。壶盖隆起，壶钮型与壶身一致，相互呼应。朴实自然的造型实用性佳，点、线、面结合融衬，虽无装饰，却呈现出大气、简练、明快的艺术风格，乃经典佳器。

“潘壶”的形制融合了“掇球”与“仿古”的特点，其壶身上缩下丰，壶肚圆润，宽厚能容，沉稳庄重，一派雍容气象，深受藏家所追捧。
