Je to zcela jiná technika. Já jsem pouze odskoušel hlínu v technologii kterou bežně používáme. Pravda je že během času se i techniky i hlíny pro yixing konvičky vyvíjejí. Někdy je to obohacení nekdy ztráta. Dříve se pálilo dřevem, to se již nedělá. Původní hlína je (dle mých informací) vytěžena či téměř nedostupná. Některé konvičky se točí na kruhu či dokonce formují do sádrových forem. Je těško říci co je ještě Yixing co již napodobenina se stejným jménem...Já jsem nikdy neměl ambice tvořit yixing konvičky.

But I belive that between 1050-1100°C it can work. But there are many clays used in YiXing and some of them can be probably fired around 1000...<br /><br />MarshaIN- Yes, I fired them in the cold part of the kiln but it is still up to 1200°C. And If my info is right then it is usually fired to around 1150°C max. As it is more vitrify it is also harder, which also means more brittle. The darkish color comes not only with higher temperature but also with strong reduction- color of iron in the clay is changed. I have been using one of them for younger shengs several times and so far it works great. As I do not have any original (made from the same clay) is hard to judge which kind of firing is better (I mean which gives better tea)<br /><br />About clays I found this interesting sign http://zishayixing.com/blog/yixing-clay/firing-temperature-and-shrinkage-ratio<br /><br />but I am not sure if all data are relevant. For example Zhu Ni to 1700°C? probably mistake...Petr Novákhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11517473309667122386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866728811341428752.post-39508503480279461052012-05-03T22:53:58.719-07:002012-05-03T22:53:58.719-07:00Very interesting!

Judging from my untrained (I know very little about pottery) the final products are fired at higher temps than what I think we normally see in Yixing wares - they seem to have that sheen to it. I'd guess they're also a little more brittle? I have a few pots that went through yaobian and they take on that darkish colour - perhaps vitrifying a little in the process?MarshalNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776398824139018801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866728811341428752.post-48360770360016235312012-05-03T11:43:28.678-07:002012-05-03T11:43:28.678-07:00Hmmmmm :) This looks really nice.

They have similar color as some older yixing teapots, so I wonder if these were fired at lower temperatures than today's pots...<br />JakubJakub Tomekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641381393855983478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866728811341428752.post-30634727614059325782012-05-03T05:42:17.356-07:002012-05-03T05:42:17.356-07:00Hi Brandon,
