The result is a surface of extraordinary complexity: deep, near-black undertones shot through with warm amber and ochre — like iron ore catching firelight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt fires dense and heavy, with excellent heat retention and a surface that develops a deep, almost metallic luster with seasoning. Among serious collectors, Xuantie Shihuang is considered one of the benchmark rare clays — visually unmistakable, technically demanding to work, and deeply rewarding to own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raw Xuantie Shihuang (原矿玄铁石黄)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 570ml ± 10ml — ideal for sharing with three to five guests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 566.5g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Total diameter 17.5cm | Height 11cm | Mouth 7.5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpout Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9-hole mesh for a clean, controlled pour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCraft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully handmade, signed by contracted master artisan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brocade gift box (锦盒) | Certificate of authenticity | Teapot cord (壶绳)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAged pu-erh, roasted oolong, liu bao, and bold dark teas — teas with the depth and weight to match this pot’s extraordinary presence.
