Unravelling the complex meanings and origins of zisha teapots in the Ming and Qing dynasties by Gao, X

“…The unglazed teapots, made from <em>zisha</em> clay using a slabbuilding technique, have been appreciated by tea consumers since the Late Ming dynasty onwards. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach, including ethnographic research, archaeological science, historical analysis, the concept of <em>chaîne opératoire</em>, and experimental archaeology, to examine various data sources and gain a comprehensive understanding of the origins and development of <em>zisha</em> teapots.…”
