Authentic and Fake Purple Sand Teapots: A Comparison
Some chemical still images:
The three main characteristics of chemical cauldrons are: 1. Rich color, 2. High brightness, 3. Smooth surface like glass!
Full of color.
The colors of all chemical dyes are very pure and vibrant, while authentic purple ceramic teapots were made from natural ore that contains mica, quartz, etc. Therefore, the color of original ore teapot is not only not bright but also relatively dull. If you encounter a pot with extremely bright color, especially one that's so bright it's frightening, then it must be a fake!
Brightness is high.
Most of the so-called purple sand teapots are mass-produced. The consumers who buy these teapots are mostly beginners. Mass-produced purple sand teapots, which are generally made by the filling process, will all add a lot of glass water to it. Glass water has an effect of increasing brightness, so it looks particularly bright. The original mine purple sand is just a rock, and the ore layer contains many organic minerals. Teapots made from this kind of stone are basically not very bright, with a dull appearance. If you encounter a teapot that is extremely bright, you should be cautious, as it is likely to be a fake purple sand teapot.
3. The pot is smooth as glass!
Ordinary purple sand teapots are all made of ceramic clay and chemical colorant, to combine the ceramic clay and the chemical colorant more closely, they will pound mud into a special fine powder. The ceramic clay has no contraction rate, so after firing, the product can't be seen with tiny holes or any wrinkles, thus the surface of the fake teapot looks particularly smooth and feels like glass when touched.
