Owning an old iron kettle has gradually become the pursuit of tea lovers. However, looking at the real and fake iron pots on the market, how do you make your eyesight and choose a satisfactory iron pot for yourself? Next, the editor will take you to practice "hot eyes and golden eyes".
1. Appearance: An old iron kettle is transferred from the seller's hand to yours, and then it can be used normally. It is a "growth" process, from "old" to "young", which is a reverse growth process. If the seller cleans it up, it means that you have not seen its "birth" process with your own eyes, and you are already an "adult" when you receive it, so you know less about the changes in this pot. Of course, you can't choose a particularly "old" iron kettle.
2. Details: The shape of the pot perfectly reflects the level of the pot maker. The spout must be selected to have smooth water flow, broken fruit, and a mouth-shaped spirit. The handle of the iron kettle, without deformation, can stand upright. The lid of the iron pot is of appropriate weight and fits well with the body of the pot. The proportion of the pot body is coordinated and the lines are beautiful. The inlay on the outside of the iron pot is pleasing to the eye in subtleties.
3. Iron quality: The iron quality of an excellent iron pot is equivalent to the mud of purple sand. A good iron pot mud can have a good tea feeling. Good iron can make a pot of good water.
4. Tangkou: It is suggested that Xiaobai should not be too superstitious about the tangkou when choosing the tangkou of the iron pot. Generally, most of the tangkou pots are ordinary pots. Tongkou can only be used as a reference standard for selecting pots.
5. Others: In addition to the above four factors, other factors such as the clicker of the iron kettle, whether it is equipped with a wooden box, whether the iron kettle body has a style, the age of the iron kettle, whether it is a famous kettle can also be considered.
